We are the Caldew Wanderers - Judy, Diane, Alison and Lee. We are all really excited because we have just signed up for Trailwalker UK 09. What this means is that we have pledged to raise £2,500 for Oxfam and the Gurkha Welfare Trust by walking 100km in 30 hours. Tough, yes. But we have old boots that are tougher and we are so happy to be part of this fabulous event.
We signed up on Easter Day so we have 3 months to get up to fitness, physically and mentally. Ali and Lee have been dragging their dog round Burgh Marsh and Diane and I have been out on our bikes in the sunshine of this lovely Easter weekend. And we are having our first team walk on Wednesday in Caldbeck.
We all live in north Cumbria and are all connected in some way with Caldew. The river Caldew rises in the northern fells of the Lake District and rushes down through Caldbeck before reaching a steadier pace as it winds its slow way through Dalston and joins the river Eden in Carlisle. The Caldew has also given its name to a comprehensive school in Dalston.
Anyway, that's a bit about us. We are thrilled to be walking for Oxfam and GWT and okay, a bit daunted too, but that's what it's all about, innit?
