Hello everyone, FINAL UPDATE FIRST – BIG THANK YOU for the donations and support. The Injury On Duty Pensioners Association donations has reached £1300, and Prostate Cancer UK £1765, a total of £3065. After having to stop at 38.5 miles, I completed the last 8.5 miles on Sunday 13 February. Final tally was 46.83 miles in 14 hours, 46 minutes of walking (averaging 20 minutes per mile), just on 101,000 steps, ascended 1708 feet and collected some nice blisters. best wishes, Keith

Hello - an update on challenge. On Wed 2nd, set off from Ballater Police Office at 2 pm. Made good progress through the night. At 38.5 miles, felt unwell with dizziness, nausea and struggling to walk in a straight line. At Peterculter, with 8 miles to go, I had to stop. Additional time/distance negotiating fallen trees hadn't helped. BIG THANK YOU for your donations and support (£1150). I will finish the walk once I'm fit (feet tender). Gutted at being so close but charity benefits from attempt. Thank you - Keith

Thank you all for your donations and support - currently at £1020! I was ready at Ballater Police Office at 07.00 hrs this morning, contemplating starting my walk. However, having driven a short distance to get there, the wind gusts from Storm Malik were bringing down trees and branches. I waited until 10.00 hrs to see if conditions changed, but took the decision it was still too dangerous to walk through the many areas of trees. I am hoping to give it another go this later this week. Disappointed but better safe than sorry. Thanks again.
