What it was all about

Hello everyone.  I just remembered that I said I would give you a final figure for sponsorship.  We have two figures to report from our efforts:

1. Catherine and I received sponsorship of £1698.40
2. We made £326 on the BBQ we held at St. Edmund Campion when we completed the walk

This gives us a grand total of £2024.40

This is equivalent to 1 year's schooling for 67 children like the ones shown here.

After the Nineteenth and Last Leg

Walk complete.

At the Barrier

So here we are at the end of our Thames Path Walk almost to the day 5 months since we started on 27th March. It has been a tremendous experience which we have thoroughly enjoyed.

Just time for a celebratory toasted sandwich before walking/running a further nearly two miles to Woolwich pier to catch a boat back to Tower Bridge.

It was a lot quicker going back by boat!

Thank you to everyone who provided support - our sponsors, our drivers, people who walked with us, T-shirt organisers, display coordinators, spa-break providers and anyone who listened to us going on about our wonderful experience.  We will let you know how much we raised for Help a Child Africa to provide an education for some of the poorest children in the world. 

The Last Lap

Time to be on our way.

Time for a Break

We thought we would have a rest before the last push to the finish. Luckily we came across this fantastic seat made of flotsam and jetsam on a "beach" just by Greenwich Yacht Club.

The End is in Sight!

Our first view of the Thames Barrier.

Some More Landmarks

The Observatory.

No prizes for getting this one.

And here is Admiral Lord Nelson.

This was Chris' favourite "landmark".
