Firstly,
thank you to Julie and Stuart our wonderful organisers!
Now, the walk ...
9.45 miles taking 5 hours 3 minutes! We think it took slightly longer this year due to a larger group of 68 walkers (including 18 newbies) and, being later in the month, we noticed the extra crop growth which slowed us down and, of course, we missed Eddie our route master!
However, the weather was with us and it was a beautiful sunny morning as we all met at the Pinnacle to sign our names in the book and receive our instructions from Julie ...
at the start, the youngest bounder, Erin (7 years) was traditionally swung over the water's edge for luck ...
the height of the crops was a real challenge for some of us ...

greatly appreciated refreshments at the most southerly point ...

we were all flagging a little here ...
there was always a helping hand ...
