In an earlier post we described how the Cambridge University Rambling Club was planning to walk in support of the Gatehouse Moving Home appeal.Well, last weekend, the walk took place and was completed successfully - 80 miles / 129 km between Oxford and Cambridge, finished in under 48 hours, without any sleep!
And the great news is they exceeded their own fundraising target - over £700 raised for the Moving Home appeal so far! So a big thank you from all of us!
It's not too late to give: just visit their sponsorship page here.
And if you want to see photos from the walk, visit their excellent gallery page here.
Thank you to all who took part, including: Simon Cottrell, Bernhard Elsner, Marc Fiedler, Matthew Ford, Valérie Malard, Yifan Huang, Patricia Hutchinson, Alan Iwi, Olaf Kähler, Usha Kanagaratnam, Etienne von Lavante, Ernest Li, Kevin Meng, Chris O'Neill, Jaimini Patel, Steven Smith, Nigel Taylor, David Waszek, Min Wu, Dylan the Sheep and Geraldine the Penguin!
And finally, here are a couple of great stories from the event:
1. Here's a photo of Steven Smith -> not his usual attire! but because the team had already reached their target of £500, he agreed to lead the whole walk in a ballgown. Nice!
2. One of the walkers, Alan Iwi, was actually a volunteer at the Gatehouse back in 2000. He was only going to join them as far as Aylesbury, but ended up accompanying them the whole way. Thanks Alan!
