We did it!

This is a picture of my team and I on Saturday at the 19 mile point in our 26.2 mile walk from Oxford to Abingdon - I don't think we look too exhausted do we?! It took 11 hours, with some stops along the way for the check points, food, water and blistered feet. I'm glad to say that my feet are fine because I've got to do another marathon walk on 5th June in the Cotswolds so I need to keep training!!

Marathon Walk

On Saturday I'm doing a 26 mile walk in aid of Helen and Douglas House in Oxford. We start off at 7 am in Christchurch Meadows and walk to Abingdon but via Chiselhampton and Dorchester. It could be a tiring day but I've been trying to do a bit of training to get myself prepared. I'll let you know how many blisters I've got next week!

Bank Holiday Weekend

We had a busy bank holiday weekend down in Lymington. My sister came to visit with her husband and 3 children. The picture shows the older 2 with their 'cheesy' smiles!


Paul did his first triathlon of the year and having swum 1.1 km, cycled 36 km and run nearly 10 km, about 300m from the finish they had to run through the ford that you can see in the picture! It had been raining quite heavily in the night so the water was flowing fast! Lovely to finish with wet feet!
