We did it!
For the third year we walked 15 miles, this year in honour of all hounds at Rainbow Bridge.
We had a relay of folks all day and three of us who did the full 15 - Charlotte, David and me (every cm of my body is either sore or aching - serves me right for not getting the practice miles in!)
So a very big thank you to Emma, Terri, Graham, Sue, Kris, Jan T, Charlotte, David, Ann, Debbie, Mandy, Sarah, Joe & Ann our main walkers. A very big thanks for Dave and his vehicle support for doing pick up/drop off.
And thank you to everyone who came to meet us at Dunmow at lunch time and at Rayne on our return leg, we really appreciated you being there.
Will we do this again next year? Too right ... Such an honour to walk and remember the hounds.

I would like to add my thanks too Thank you Mum and Dave for coming up with the idea in the first place, for lunch at the pub and the loan of the Chelsea top (I will return it washed) Thank you Mrs T for the transfers for the special shirt. It went a bit wrong but that was us rather than the transfers! We're very proud of ourselves, if a little achey this morning! Poor David's cold has come out with a vengeance but he's going off to dismantle a shower for his Uncle and do a thermostat for his Sister in a while We'll be there with bells on next year

It was a pleasure to be part of the walk. Poppy and I had a great time. Poppy has not woken up since we have been home (apart from popping in the garden for the necessarys)

Excellent, well done all, hope the aches are feeling less achy now. All our lovely hounds were watching you all very proudly x

It was an honour and a privilege to be a part of this very, very special walk. I kept choking up as I was showing folks the photos of my Benny, Winnie, Rock and Freeway. It was great to see some of our people friends and doggy chums. My sister Sue enjoyed it too and she loved making a fuss of all the dogs (as did yours truly). As soon as we got back to the station cafe Gemma laid down, exhausted but happy that she'd managed to walk for 2 hours (a record for her). We are already looking forward to next year's walk.
