Well our blisters have almost gone now and the shock of walking 26.2 miles is fast becoming a memory, with our fundraising total now at nearly £2000 it feels that the pain of the last few miles really was worth it.

We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the team spirit of walking with 17,000 other people around London. Starting at 11.30pm we walked from Hyde Park, past Buckingham Palace, through Westminster, over Blackfriars Bridge along the South Bank past the London Eye, through Battersea Park and then through Chelsea and up to Knightsbridge - finally heading back down to the river and on the long awaited home stretch. (It’s exhausting just reading it..)

We were very slow and didn't finish until 9.30 in the morning - mostly due to the multiple toilet stops which were used to disguise the need for a rest!

The hardest part was mile 18 and beyond, by that point we were completely exhausted, tired and hungry. It was only the amusement of near hysteria, that seemed to spread through us like a virus, that actually got us through the final gruelling few miles. With the pain of every step increasing as daylight broke, even the smell of fresh bread being baked couldn't take our minds off the pain of putting one foot in front of the other. Helped along by the sight of a few weary walkers flagging behind us we did finally manage to get to the finish line and collect our medals.

Although we are a fairly fit bunch here at WBC we were all taken by surprise at how tough the walk would be but felt very proud to have completed the walk and even more proud to have raised much needed money for such a worthy cause.

Thank you for your support!
