Pics: Training walk, 30 April 2016

We did a training walk today without full backpack loads. Today's walk was all about speed - which was lucky, because that meant we were already on the way home when it started pouring with rain.

It was amazing how different it all looked. We've always done this route in the dark before!

Gazing at Warden Hill - and the storm clouds gathering above it!

We practise on hills a lot.

See that cloud? We did. Up close and personal.

Final climb of the day.

"Can we slide down again, Dad?"

For the hit album cover.

Dad forgot to start the trip monitor when we left home, so this only shows a bit of the walk.

Thank you Liz Aldous and Caroline. Thanks to you and all the other kind supporters I am now approaching the halfway point on the way to my target. It's an amazing thing you've all done. This amount of money provides many many food parcels to struggling families.

What an amazing Sunday! Mary, of our street's residents' association, sent information about my challenge to all the residents and landlords. Within four hours the running total had leapt to £435, which means Luton Foodbank gets £516.26 after the Government's Gift Aid is added. Thank you so much Mary, Hassan, and Shirley! Your names have been added to the Cool Wall on the left of the page.

Including Gift Aid, the total raised is now very nearly a third of the way to the target. This is amazing stuff. Everyone is so generous! I'm confident we'll reach the target by the time I set out on the Ridgeway.
