A great day for fundraising and some amazing views as we make our way up the country. The running is going well although Dave pushed Andrew to the limit on leg 3.
Many thanks to The Berkely Arms pub and restaurant in Wymondham for letting me use their internet tonight.
We thought that nothing could beat the success we had in Uppingham but then we entered Oakham! Once again, a big thank you to the Coop for allowing us to fundraise outside their store and a massive thank you to all those that donated - a massive £160 collected today bringing the total to over £300 at the end of day 4.
I’m sure that everyone will be pleased to hear that Bedford have cancelled the parking penalty, issued incorrectly while we passed through. The rest of this news item has been deleted following the receipt of the “apology” letter - oh dear Bedford!
A massive thank you to everyone in Uppingham who kindly donated this morning. We located ourselves outside Somerfield and were welcomed by the manager and everyone who passed. AYou will be pleased to hear that we DIDN’T receive another parking penalty…in fact, the parking warden donated money himself and said that we could stay all day without renewing our ticket - he’s thankfully not been trained by Bedford Council! A massive thank you goes out to Rutland County Council for your support.
Andrew is now off on his 2nd leg today, heading towards Oakham. The weather is mighty fine so lets hope it can stay like this for a bit.
