To my native village, there tomorrow morning to embark on a 35 mile walk to Winchester in aid of @DKMS_uk.

If you felt like sponsoring my niece Daisy, who will be accompanying @James1940, I would be inordinately grateful.

To Winchester!

Dawn over the Chalke Valley…

Smale foweles maken melodye…

God’s own county… #Wiltshire

Breakfast!

If you’d like to sponsor my beloved niece Daisy to raise ££ for @DKMS_uk, we would all be incredibly grateful… dkms.enthuse.com/pf/daisy-holla…

We reach the Avon…

Actually, correction, NOW we reach the Avon dkms.enthuse.com/pf/daisy-holla…

We pass the splendidly named Trafalgar (Trafal-GAR) House…

We reach the summit of Pepperbox Hill, crowned by one of England’s oldest follies

Huge excitement as @James1940 finds a pillbox!!!

A hexagonal Type 22 pillbox to be precise…

HALF WAY!!!!

Only another 17.75 miles to Winchester!

On my niece Daisy’s behalf, thank you to everyone who has sponsored her, & contributed so generously to @DKMS_uk dkms.enthuse.com/pf/daisy-holla…

We arrive in Mottisfont, & pause briefly to admire the beautiful 12th century church of St Andrew…

10 miles to go!

And all in the best of causes! dkms.enthuse.com/pf/daisy-holla…

It’s hailing

It’s stopped hailing.

Hampshire seems very hilly

An important message dkms.enthuse.com/pf/daisy-holla…

After 38 miles, journey’s end!

Thank you to everyone who sponsored @James1940 & Daisy.

Your generosity in aid of @DKMS_uk - the best of causes - is deeply, deeply appreciated.
