The End

Well I managed to complete the walk without any untoward incidents and I am shortly to go on a well deserved hoilday. It is now up to you. I need all those pledges to come to fruition and if they are all honoured I should have raised at least £2000-00. Many thanks to you all.
Could you please make any cheques out to the Lodge of Remembrance 6188 and I will issue one cheque from the lodge and I confirm that a list of lodges and their contibutions will be included with the cheque so that it will count to your individual targets.
My home address is 3 Firsdene Close Ottershaw Surrey KT16 0JB.
Once again many thanks to all my supporters.

Day 6 - Journey's End

Day 6

Well the final day has arrived. Starting at Surbiton with a send-off from Colin Palmer.

"It's that way!"

Come on Harry, nearly there: it's not time to rest yet.

Being joined on the final leg of the walk from Sutton Masonic Centre. Croydon here we come!

We made it!

Congratulations Harry. Watch this space for the final amount raised - Treasurer "standing" by...

Even the Support Car Driver made it - and he did three times as many miles! Well done, Lawrence!

Right that's done - where's my Guinness??!

Well the walk may be over, but watch this space soon for an update on the total amount that has been raised over the last 6 days.

With thanks to everyone who has supported.

Day 5

With a spring in my step today I set off from Chertsey for 'home-from-home' Surbiton. It felt good to be walking a more familiar route and of course the sun was shining on me. I even overtook the support car!

We told you to watch those speed limits Harry...

Day 4

Day 4

Today was due to be a tough day - just over half way through with a long day after yesterday's miles. But there was company to be had in the form of the Admin Support Team who were allowed out for the day.

We hope you're observing the speed limits, Harry.

Made good time to the first stop of today: Bisley Masonic Centre where the welcoming committee was waiting. But no time to hang about. Onwards!

Enroute with the Admin Support Team.

Arrival at Chertsey Masonic Centre.

Outside Chertsey with the Admin Support Team. Almost time to go home and put the feet up.

But can we add one more, final, stop to the Charity Walk itinerary?

Day 3

Day 3

What a lovely day for a walk in the country, i should do this every week...

So many country pubs...

Maybe next time we'll have a sponsored crawl around Surrey's finest instead?

This man just doesn't know his own strength: it must be all those energy bars and isotonic drinks...

First stop of the day, Farnham Masonic Centre, a.k.a "No. 42"

Day's end: Camberley. What do you mean I missed the Metallica concert?!

Day 2

Well, after resting the feet overnight it was on with Day 2.

Leaving Cranleigh in the drizzle the first stop was the Guildford Masonic Centre, where Adrian Lilley was waiting outside the gates. He had kindly arranged for the chef to be on site to offer a very welcome freshly made bowl of soup for lunch. A refreshing change to the cereal bars and bananas eaten en route!

Anthony Machin joined the second leg of the Walk onto Godalming.

You can get the bus on the way back, Harry...

Destination achieved and another day successfully completed although there appeared to be no sign of the Support Car driver. What's that Lawrence, you got lost and drove past us 3 times?!

Good job Harry knows where he's going...

Day 1

Well everything went okay, it was a little harder than I was expecting, but so far so good and rain didn't stop play. Arrived safely at Cranleigh, time now to put my feet up and get ready for Day 2!

In the beginning...

No buses today, Harry...

Destination achieved!

Update - The Final Stretch

It is now Friday 11th May and I have completed my last training walk. I have talked the talk now it is time to walk the walk. I started serious training in September by walking 5 miles every weekday morning together with 50 press-ups and 50 sit-ups. In addition I have walked a number of 10 mile walks and one 20 mile and one 25 mile walk. By the time I finish on Saturday 19th May I will have covered over one thousand miles.

Many thanks to all of you that have encouraged me and pledged money.

I will be at the Masonic Centre at Nutfield about 0930 on Monday 14th May to depart at 1000 to walk to the Cranleigh Masonic Centre hopefully to arive around 1600 or there abouts. I look forward to seeing some of you there.
