Hi folks!

Last week (the very snowy week) we decided it to be the perfect time to drive the route we walked, and basically stop in and see as many people that helped us out as we could!

We did manage to see almost everyone in Scotland, barr one or two, despite the massive amounts of snow they had up there (they're actually able to deal with it!). For those that we couldn't reach, we hope to be up in Inverness in late August and so we'll come and say hello then!

We also managed to see most people in North East England (barr two of you who live near Blackadder on the border).

It sort of went down hill south of Alnwick though, and with a lot of snow back at home and more forecast we decided to cut the trip short and head back. So we have a few more people to see in the North, hardly anyone between Yorkshire and Devon, and a few in Cornwall! The thought for this is to do it in the spring once we've both got ourselves some jobs and worked long enough to be allowed holiday!

It was briliant driving the bits of the route we did walk; with the A9 near Brora and Golspie, Aviemore, Kinguisse, and Northumberland really standing out!-  it brought back a lot of fond memories! And of course, it was brilliant meeting everyone again, particularly in the knowledge that there was a car to transport us to the next place!

We'll stick further updates on here... I'm still trying to make an exact route of where we walked on google earth so we know how far we walked, and there's still some money coming in to the Alzheimer's Society!

Thanks,

James

As anyone who's tried to access the site in the last week or so will know, it's been down, for a long time!

Webjam, the people who host the site, have been rubbish up until now with getting it all fixed, but thankfully we're back up and running again!

Isn't it just typical that the week after we finish the walk, it happens!

I'd (James) just like to take the time to say a huge thanks to the staff, parents and students at All Hallows school/college for the substantial sums of money they've donated to the cause! Last week in a matter of minutes, whilst standing with a couple of buckets outside their annual presentation evening we raised £409! That on top of a lot more that's been raised already! 

We owe an awful lot of thanks to a lot of people, and with us either not thinking about getting address or details at the time, or losing peoples' addresses or details when we had our stuff stolen, we can't thank everyone personally. The best solution seems a list of sorts on this site, where it'd be great if people could drop us an email or something. We're planning on driving our route sometime in the spring... Watch this space!

For now though, a very Merry Christmas to you all!

Cheers,

James
