Yay I did it!!! It did take 29.26 hours and I have 3 blisters but it was amazing!!!!

We set of at about 8.45 and felt very excited!! The weather was perfect sunshine but not too hot and the views amazing!!!

Action challenge’s organisation, the route markings, kind and helpful volunteers, food and first aid well we could not fault them!!

The walking through the night felt long and at times a little scary but the breaking of dawn and sunrise, breathtaking, and this gave us a renewed spring in our step!!!

The last 20km were very hard, the muscles screaming and blisters all bandaged up…… But being so very near the end there was NO way we were going to give up!!!

The finish … Emotional and soooo happy!!! Had a marathon sleep … 16 hours and stumbled around the next day but it was just an amazing experience!!!

I still have some money to collect in but I think I will hit £700….!!! Just brilliant!!!
