Walk the Wight, 14th May 2006 for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice. |
|
Setting off from Bembridge at 7 am. |
|
On arrival at the Carisbrooke checkpoint at 10.47 we were greeted by these pipers. |
|
We crossed the finish line at Alum Bay 16.10 We had again started out intending to do only half the walk & finish at Carisbrooke, but then decided to go the whole way again, around twenty seven miles! Total time nine hours ten minutes with no breaks longer than a few minutes because we were afraid of freezing up! We managed to knock 45 minutes off last years time. Many thanks to all who sponsored me I have raised around 140 pounds for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice so far this year. |

Walk the Wight, 13th May 2007 for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice. Very wet & windy this year as my other son Kevin & his son Sam along with my other grandson Simon started the half walk from Carisbrooke to Alum Bay, around 14 miles. Due to the bad weather I never took my camera, so no new pictures. Are time taken was just over five hours, all I have to do now is collect in the sponsorship. |
