People of all ages and fitness levels challenged themselves and enjoyed the amazing local countryside, while raising lots of money, enjoying the beautiful scenery and battling against the strong, head-on winds.

Organiser Karen Balmbro said: “We were not beaten in spirit and everyone started and finished in one piece and we all enjoyed a much-earned buffet at the end. The final figure is yet to be confirmed, we are still receiving donations, but looking like we’re heading for £1,500.”
