Westham hike for charity

9:32pm Wednesday 23rd November 2011 in Community By Lucy Hamilton

WESTHAM: A triumphant team completed their gruelling 21-mile hike from Chickerell Camp to Bovington Camp on November 12. Chris Edwards and friends aim to raise £1,000 for SCOTTY’S LITTLE SOLDIERS and for Westham Community Group. The sun shone for most of the way, as Simon Yeats, Rick Hughes and Ryan Hope covered the miles ahead of schedule.

Chris says: “The hardest part was after lunch to get going again. Rick and me had blisters, the younger walkers were skipping along, full of energy. The high point was getting there. It was a fantastic feeling.” Chris and the team would like to thank Vic, Jackie and David for their steadfast support all the way, and the garage at Osmington for their warm welcome. A very big thank you to all the sponsors who have made it worthwhile. There’s still time to help the team reach their target: please call Chris on 07976 332418.
