First Day of Sponsored Walk

Hi All

Well I have finished the first day of the Sponsored Walk on The Way of the Millenium and it was quite an exciting one (not the words my Dad would have said!)

We set off at 08:00 and Amys Dad dropped us off just outside Newport. He then drove the car back to Stafford (which was our finishing point today) and was going to run back and meet us (He likes running!)


This is at the start of the walk. We then walked along an old disused railway for about 5 miles before we decided to have a break




Anyway when we were having our sandwiches I realised my phone wasnt in my bag! So then Paul, Amy and Emily carried on walking while me and my Dad had to start walking back the way we came! 

This was me just before I realised I had lost my phone!

We walked for about 2 miles whilst Mum tried to locate my phone on her iphone. Luckily it worked and it turned out the phone was back the way we had come. So to cut a long story short it turned out that 3 men walking their dogs had picked it up and when we turned back we passed them and Dad asked whether they had picked up a phone and they had!! 

So at this point we had now walked about 8 miles and then had to walk another 5 miles to get to Stafford to catch up with Paul, Emily and Amy. So instead of walking nearly 10 miles today I walked 13 miles!! 

Tomorrow is another 13 miles (as long as I dont lose my phone) and we walk from Stafford to East of Rugeley. 

I will update more tomorrow
