4 April is Walk to Work Day, but going from my home in Bedford to the office in Chicksands by the shortest route it is 11 miles each way for me... so I'm taking the day off to do it!

[Update - for pleasanter walking, planned route is now 23.6 miles]

As it is through the beautiful Bedfordshire countryside I thought I'd try to raise some money for the local Wildlife Trust at the same time (find out more about them here: https://www.wildlifebcn.org/about-us). I've set an initial target to raise a minimum of £10 a mile for the Wildlife Trust BCN based on the shortest route, but hope to build up my fitness enough to take a slightly more challenging/longer route in one direction that'd make the total about 26 miles. Any contributions would be really welcome and appreciated.
