All done

Back home now having completed the walk at 2pm yesterday. It has been a wonderful 9 days seeing tremendous scenery and enjoying almost every moment of the the way. Hopefully looking at well in excess of £4k so a serious amount of money raised too. I felt quite emotional approaching the line with my youngest, Sam who walked the last day and a half ,with the bride Cheryl, my mother and stepdaughter Bekah waiting. I also managed to phone Lou shortly after completing the walk and my first glass of champers!

Thanks to everyone who has helped me both in terms of sponsorship and messages of support and of course Cheryl especially for logistical, mental and emotional back up. The right knee is knackered and somewhat swollen and my left toe is still a bit messy but physically it was generally ok and a small sacrifice compared to what Lou goes through on an almost daily basis.

Cheryl did ask where next...... we haven't spoken since!! All I can say is it might be a while but if anybody is thinking of a long distance walk the Cleveland Way is a magnificent starter.
