We did the Peak District walk for Marie Curie

We did the 10 mile walk for Marie Curie Cancer Care today. I tracked our journey using the Nokia Sports Tracker feature on my phone and uploaded it to the service so you can see exactly where we walked. I've also put the photos into the service and you can see where we took them.

It was a great day, despite the rain for the first couple of hours, as this picture of Dave, Jacky, Bill and Jan shows.

We walked steadily and although we couldn't see much from Mam Tor, we get some unusual sights, like this mist on just one side of the mountain.

We stopped for a bit and had a snack just over half-way round. It was quite windy so we didn't sit still for long

There seemed to be a lot of people walking and when we finished saw this sign saying how much everyone had raised in total:

I collected my certificate and we had a pint in the pub.

You can see all the photos in the collection for the walk.

I am doing a sponsored walk this coming Sunday, 27 April 2008. It is a 10-mile walk in the beautiful Peak District in the heart of the UK to help raise funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care. To find out more about the event and the good work of Marie Curie Cancer Care visit their web page for the event.

If you would like to see what the Peak District is like, explore the embedded Google Map entred on the lovely village of Edale, the starting point for the walk.

I have secured match funding from my employer, Experian Limited, so that the company will match the funds that I raise, subject to a maximum contribution from the company of £250. Given this, I'm trying hard to see if I can raise £250!

Please can I ask you to consider sponsoring me? It's easy to do online by visiting my sponsorship page.

Once again, thanks.
