20 Mile Pink Ribbon Walk for Breast Cancer Care

On a wet summer's day - it was time for Top Lodge Member Kath to take the Pink Ribbon 20 Mile Walk being sponsored for Breast Cancer Care with her dogs Amber and Denby who get a daily dose of GWF Joint Aid For Dogs.
Kath met with friend Nicci and not to be beaten bad the wet weather, off they went leaving Bakewell Showground at 9:10 am after a 10 minute dance warm up!  At least they were dressed for the weather! 
The route took them through Great Longstone and on towards Stoney Middleton.
Their dogs Nala and Leo and Amber and Denby at the 10 mile half way marker! Overlooking Froggatt Edge they walked their way to Calver
From Calver to Baslow and through the grounds of Chatsworth to the Carlton Lees Car Park.
From Chatsworth Estate to Haddon and finally back with a sprint finish at Bakewell Showground by 4:45pm.  - this included three rest point stops.
Over 800 people took part in this walk, some opting for the 5 mile or 10 mile but Kath and Nicci and their four legged companions completed the entire 20 miles raising over £600 in sponsorship.
Thank you to all who supported them.
