This took place on Saturday and the walkers have to pass by us at around the 35 mile mark on their way along the west coast road from Peel to Kirk Michael.
It was quite a warm, sunny day on Saturday and I am sure they would have been suffering a little by that point. We usually stand on the corner of the lane to cheer them on.
This year's winner made it across the finish line just before midnight with a time of 15.44.06
This gives you something to aim for next year. What an achievement it will be when you complete the walk. You could also raise money for a worthy cause such as The Alzheimer Society. Sign me up for £5 but remember that it is a "walk". Do not cheat by running some of the way like Liam Parker. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWell Mr P, I thought that you may like to participate as you are such an accomplished walker? I would be there at the corner with a reviving cool drink for you and my camera handy for that all important photo for the blog.
DeleteThat walk makes me tired just reading about it.
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine how you would feel at the end!
DeleteYou mean you weren't one of the participants, JayCee?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, 6 hours walking around Gibraltar was more than enough for me!
DeleteWow, that's a long walk. Lots of people taking part by the looks of it. Good on them!!!
ReplyDeleteThey raise a lot of money for good causes too
