**Event date change due to weather conditions. I will be taking on this challenge on Wednesday 19th April**
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On this date I will be taking on the challenge to walk 13 miles around the grounds of Compton Verney. I'll be doing 5 laps of a circular route that I've planned around the beautiful grounds. Each lap is 2.6 miles, so upon completion I will have achieved 13 miles in total - pretty much half a marathon!
The bridge at Compton Verney is a big feature of the landscape - not to mention carrying many pedestrians and vehicles daily up to the galleries where I work. It's a much admired feature and a favourite look-out for views over the lake and park.
The bridge was built in the 1770s as part of the changes to the landscape made by Capability Brown. It now needs repairs to the masonry, and for specialist craftspeople to do the work to the historic structure will cost around £30,000.
For this reason I'm walking the Compton Verney estate to raise as much as I am able towards the cost of repairs.
