WE MADE IT!! Thank you to everybody who has donated and supported this fundraiser.

We set off at 5.58 am to make the most of the clear towpath and the bikes behaved themselves all the way to West Byfleet. At around 9.40 we dumped our bikes with Neil's parents, reloaded our bags and set off on foot.

Spirits were high all the way along despite certain sections completely exposing us to 28 degrees of sunshine! It was a pint of coke at the 22mile mark on the way home that suddenly spurred us on to an almost sprint finish! 14 hours and 40 minutes and we were back at the start. We've just worked out we will have taken around 75'000 steps on the walk back.

It was also fitting that we reached the £1000 target while we were still out walking. It's all for a very worthy cause.

Following last years succesful navigation on foot of the Basingstoke Canal, Neil and I decided to add some difficulty for this fundraiser. This year, on July 14th, we plan to cycle the canal one way, then trek back on foot the other - a total of 65 miles in a day.

Please donate whatever you can for a fantastic cause and help us reach our target. If it helps, we promise we will feel a lot of pain!
