Well, Vivien Meath, editor of the Clitheroe Advertiser, promised to put an article in the paper, but I didn't expect the whole front page! So the walk couldn't get any better local publicity than that. The great thing is that now everyone in the town must know about it and that should be a big boost to fund-raising, which now stands at almost £1,000 before we've even started. People have been dropping money into the office and through my front door, and more have signed up to the Blog.
Meanwhile training has consisted mainly of Lemsip: the 'fluey cold has gone, and I'm just left with a cough, which hopefully will subside over the weekend. For the first walk on Monday there is now a small party consisting of me, Val, Mike, and two good friends of Margaret, Alison Spencer and Frank Brown. It should be a nice easy start, but what will the weather do?
