CRY Heart of London Bridges Walk - Part 1

   

7th July 2007

The day started with Kathryn; her friends Diana, Hilary, Carolyn and Julia; “support team” Maria, Mark and Rebecca from the CRY office; CRY volunteers Lena and Koula; and CRY representatives, Alastair and Stephanie Paterson, all meeting at Hampton Court Bridge at 7am for breakfast.

 

The walk started at 7.30am from Hampton Court, crossing all the Thames bridges along the route and finishing at Tower Wharf, some 32 miles later, at 8.35pm.

 

Friends, family, CRY staff and volunteers joined Kathryn for all or part of the walk: -

Diana, Hilary, Carolyn, Julia and Beverley (Kathryn’s friends); Mark, Alastair and Koula; William and Sharon (Kathryn’s son and girlfriend); Richard and Helen (Diana’s Son and Daughter).

 

A soon as they set off, Kathryn was interviewed by radio station LBC. The first refreshment stop was at Teddington Lock, where Kathryn was interviewed by another local Surrey radio station.

 

The next refreshment stop was at Kew Bridge, where Jill Philips, another of Kathryn’s friends, provided a much needed foot massage for Kathryn, and drove some of the walkers back to Hampton Court. The support team then headed for Putney Bridge, our next stop, to meet the group for a delicious lunch of assorted salads, sandwiches and tortilla wraps kindly provided by Koula.

 

The final refreshment stop with the support team was at Battersea Park, although there were a couple more stops at cafes along the route. The support team and Jill went to Tower Bridge to wait for the walkers at the end, meet and congratulate them and buy them a well-earned drink.

 

Well done and thank you to Kathryn and everyone who took part, and to those who supported or sponsored her. Miraculously, it remained sunny and dry for the whole day!
