Staff from SPET take on The Great York Walk 2024!

Hello everyone! Just a final update following our success at the Great York Walk yesterday. Everyone in the team completed their chosen route - Rohan did the 6.25miles/10km route, with the rest of us (Frank, Helen, Andrew, and Sinuo) completing the full 25miles/40km.

The four of us that completed the entire route managed it in a total time of 8 hours and 25 minutes, and (bearing in mind it is not a race) we came in joint 2nd place with only one walker ahead of us.

Thanks again to everyone for donating so far - below are a selection of pictures from the day.

A couple of updates on our team's activities this bank holiday weekend:

- Helen went for a walk around York, for a total distance of 31.8km

- Frank, Andrew, and Sinuo (and Danny the dog) did the  walk between Fountains Abbey and Hackfall:

28km total with lots of stiles, some muddy bits, and a mammoth quantity of wild garlic.

Many thanks to everyone who has donated so far. Pics from our exploits below:
