Welcome

Hi, and welcome to my blog!

We are planning to walk the Cotswolds Way in late September 2013 and this will be a daily record of the journey.  The route is 102 miles long, stretching from Chipping Camden in the North to Bath in the South. Our aim is to complete the walk in 10 days, averaging 10 miles a day, with a rest day in the middle.

We walked 72 miles around the Isle of Wight in 8 days last year, so this is a step up in terms of challenge.  As an added incentive we are fundraising for the local branch of a well-known national charity, Home Start South West Kent.  Home-Start supports families with at least one child under five years of age who are struggling to cope with stress and difficulties affecting their family life and the positive development of their children. Kent County Council has drastically cut its funding and the branch is struggling to carry on, so it seemed like a good idea for us to support this worthwhile cause.  You can learn more about Home Start at   http://www.home-start.org.uk/

If  you want to make yourselves feel good, and make us feel really motivated, you could always go on to our fundraising page and make a donation now!  http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=wickham&isTeam=true

Thank you very much.
