Coast to Coast Walk

In my haste to get the report of the walk to Luke, I omitted three people who also fulfilled vital rôles in the endeavour. Len Fletcher drove up to Osmotherley at the crack of dawn to transport us back to Ingleby Cross and later in the day carried some of us to Great Broughton before returning home. Thelma Williams and Susan Parkinson were our support on the penultimate day, taking us to Lockton Youth Hostel and in to Pickering to purchase the fish and chips and then returned on the last day to take us back to the car park. They were there at the finish at Robin Hood’s Bay. Many apologies to all of you for being left out. Mike Atkinson once again shared his story with us on Thursday, 29th September. Again, it was a very moving experience. We were pleased to have Quest with us and we are very grateful to Mike. £62 were raised for the funds.
