I challenged you to raise 450 pence (or equivalent) which equates to 1 pence for every minute's enjoyment I'll spend along the route: You came up trumps, and beat it every time.

I am so strikingly aware that the World Wildlife Fund is always in desperate need for funds to support its amazing work. My particular favourite and softest spot is for the Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda.

Animals in the wild have no means to publicise their desperate needs, so they depend on the likes of you to offer them realistic sustainability.

Thanks to all you wonderful contributors, I was delighted to increase my sponsorship target three times: Finally at £422.   Huh?    £422?

Yup, it simply means £10 per km (42.2 km  x  £10  =  £422).

89% of the target and narrowly missed the last £ 47 . . .  although I am awaiting some more 'cash' contributions.

THANKS EVERYONE ! ! !                         :-)
