Less than a week since the end of the walk and sponsorship money is still coming in, with the total now over £6,800, which will gross up to almost £8,000 with Gift Aid. Thanks must go to the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times for their continued support and publicity, with a great article this week. More funds are promised so we haven't finished yet!!
In Lakeland, the Westmorland Gazette will also feature an article either this week or next, and I had a nice email from John Burland, editor of The Wainwright Society's quarterly magazine 'Footsteps', telling me that he thought my round of all 214 in 55 days was the fastest by an 'ordinary fell-walker' (by the way, Joss Naylor's time was actually 6 days 23 hours and 11 minutes apparently) - and the next edition in September will contain a full-page article on the challenge, with another opportunity to publicise the Rosemere Cancer Foundation.
Now don't laugh, but tomorrow Val and I are off to Scotland to walk the West Highland Way - it's only 97 miles and not too hilly, so it should be like having a nice rest!!
