    Let’s hope with the gift aid (£286 at mo) you can reach £2000 in total. Well done lad. Great amount at mo.

    Legs are okay actually! It's the blisters I'm most bothered about. Those peak district hills were unforgiving! Not sure if you know that 'House of Eliot' on Penistone Road by the way? Just saw it on google maps. It's in Grenoside so a good marker if you still want to join! Would be great to have some company! Only so many horses and sheep you can say ey up to before you start to feel a bit daft! Haha

    Hoping to join you at some point of the route. Hope the legs and blisters are holding up!

    Right, I've just sorted it. I'll join you for a couple of miles tomorrow morning from Hillsborough to Grenoside. Would have liked to do more, but got a few commitments in the afternoon.

    Just walked a couple of miles with Luke from Hillsboro to Grenoside. He’s in good shape and is heading towards High Green / Tankersley. Members of his family have joined the walk. Anyone driving through his route down the A 61 give him a wave.

    I met his Mum and Dad. I’ve been trying to persuade him to go in Redfearns as it sounds as though there are a few ready to buy him a pint, and it would help the fundraising.

    Your Uncle dropped her off. So just the two of them to Tankersley. Think they were offered a stop off for refreshments at Tankersley Manor. Others joining the walk at Tankersley.
