Well we did it and it was great fun
here is what Bruce says

To all who put themselves out and put in some hard work today well done. To those i didn't get a chance to thank, sorry. Despite the rain we did good not one complaint and all in it for the cause. This tops any thing that i've ever been involved in and seriously can't wait to do that again. If we hit the £3000 mark then its all down to your efforts. What ever we get its going to help and thats the bottom line. Thank you to Dave and Peter Davis for taking up the reigns and putting in the time for planning the route and timings. I don't know about any one else but i had a great day. Thankyou from those who we did it for
