Wow what a busy weekend! Friday a gale blew yet me and Lorraine went to do a walk in Belper, although only 7 miles it was tougher than we expected. At times the wind tried to topple us and the rest of the time the mud really tested our foot work!
The next day the gales were still blowing as we left Notts and headed to Edale. However as we reached Edale where the roads had turned into a river.
We set off along the Pennine way but half way up Mam Tor the path was gone and a torrent of wild water was in its way. For safety we decided to turn back. By the time we reached the car park we were cold, hungry and soaking! I really think ponchos are a good idea!
Once home and dry it was time to go and set up for the indoor car boot sale. Eventually I'd get my camper van back for camping rather than storing loads of junk!
A very early start resulted in making £140 in a morning, not bad and that's the medicines covered.
I totally under estimated how much this trip would cost! Because I'll be paying for it for a long time it just adds to the importance of doing it and succeeding and most importantly making money for my 2 charities.
A quick add up of the money raised so far by the group is over £17000! Not bad!
