The Manchester challenge was born of trying to think of a way to raise money for Jospice - we wanted a big challenge and someone said we should have a race between the Liverpool and Manchester offices - I think they meant that the race (to be decided) was to be between teams from the two offices, but I heard differently, so we're walking between the two offices! It's about 40 miles. We reckon it'll take all day and we're doing it on 14 July.

The Liverpool team is Simon Venables, Stephen Critchley, John Frankland, Alex Harper, Iain Batchen, Alison Draper and Matthew Acheson.

To add to the challenge, we will be 'racing' (although we're only walking it!) a team from the Manchester office who will complete the walk in the opposite direction.
