On Oct 30th a team of 12 from RMS attempted a 10 mile walk across the Gloucestershire countryside in aid of Children in Need. This was a worthy brainchild of Jane Pascoe, the Operation Manager – who also provided the infamous ‘Pudsey’ ears in the futile hope that they would be worn by all!
To kick off the day, we all gathered in the Malt House Pub, Berkeley. Then the grueling walk began. However, it was not completely un-eventful, a discovery of an abandoned bike lead to an escape attempt (which failed) and the discovery of an abundant supply of sloes (without the gin unfortunately) which we decided to forage.
All of the walkers completed their chosen tasks and with the ages ranging from 13 to 60, we were rightfully proud of the effort made by all concerned.
£842.50 was raised for Children in Need and for those less inclined to walk 10 miles there will be a RMS quiz night in Decemeber
