Oxfam Walk

---

Tim and I decided to give up our Sunday and do the Oxfam walk today, which as the name suggests is a walk to raise money for Oxfam. I know doing the walk doesn't really count as travelling but seeing as I am not going on holiday for a while I thought I would write a blog anyway!

There has been a bit of a heatwave of late so we had an amazingly sunny day for our walk. It was 13 miles which was a nice distance. It took us 4.5 hours from start to finish including a bit of a sit down in the middle.

The walk started at Wimpole Hall, the National Trust property, and took us west towards East Hatley then north towards Longstowe before heading south back towards Wimpole. It was very pretty countryside and the walk was fairly varied and very enjoyable.

When we reached Copy Yard checkpoint where there were refreshments it could not have been more English! There was no cans of coca-cola and drinks in plastic cups here. There was tea or coffee in china mugs, or orange squash for the children. Also there were chairs (of the village hall variety) so we didn't have to sit on the floor.

We also got our photo taken by someone taking publicity shots so look out for us next year. Our photo may have made it onto something!
