Our Fourth Annual CAFOD Big Lent Walk

On Saturday 28th February, 16 of us took part in the Big Lent Walk for CAFOD. We met early in the morning all ready for a long walk from the Mammoth Lake across to John Merrick Lake on the Wanlip side of the park to be refreshed by coffees and ice cream. Unfortunately the conditions were against us. It had rained on and off throughout January and February and persistently on the Friday before the walk. By Saturday the park was flooded in so many places that we couldn't get very far. Undeterred, we walked back and forth looking for ways to get around the park. Some of our group even took off shoes and socks in order to get through the floods a show of true determination to do what we needed to do for CAFOD and in solidarity with our brothers and sisters across the world who are suffering with climate related issues.

Although we didn't manage to reach our KM goal, your support for our valiant attempt would be very much appreciated. Click the link and give what you can. Thank you!

Ready and raring to go!
Our first taste of what was to come.
Keep on walking for CAFOD!
We're still smiling!
Yes, it's freezing!
And that's as far as we can go - time to turn around and head back. No coffee and ice cream for us.
