I am really proud of my wife Tina pictured here, second from left, light grey trousers for completing her Mighty Hike this Sunday.

The walk was a half marathon length of 13 miles, that started at Corfe Castle and ended in Swanage with a big section along the coastal path. They faced challenges with the weather with “horizontal rain” being the least of their worries, as parts of the coastal path were somewhat tricky to walk on.

The reason behind their participation was to raise money in memory of a colleague who died last year from cancer. It hit us all very hard, as one minute she was there in the office, all normal, healthy and enjoying life. Next she was in hospital with severe pain, was diagnosed and never left the hospital. She was later moved to a hospice where she died a few days later. Her husband Mark was shell shocked.

On Sunday I did part of the walk in reverse from Swanage and met up with them near the coastal path, so that I could join them for their last couple of miles or so.

They did brilliantly but were physically and emotionally exhausted.

They raised a lot of money between them and are still pulling money in.
