Story

PlWe are a small casual and informal walking group (ages 24-67) all living in the parish of Fylingdales,North Yorkshire. We have walking days of 15 -23 miles over varying terrain and in all conditions.We live in a diverse parish ranging from sea and beach to uplands and moorlands.The idea of walking the bounds is based on the ancient custom of riding them on horseback to make them secure against neighbours.We had the idea of walking the bounds and then thought to do it for MAG. It is about 25 miles round the bounds so we will make up the difference to a marathon length 26 miles on 'foriegn soil' in Staintondale parish.The walk is long and in sections quite arduous covering mostly moorland some of which is pathless!.The money we raise for MAG will have been properly earned. It is apposite to do this walk for MAG as it will help others to walk in safety and without fear.PLEASE GIVE AS MUCH AS YOU FEEL ABLE TO . THANKS........Since writing this Georgie has had emergency surgery and whilst now getting better she is unable to join us ,she is however still fundraising and is keen to receive more donations.........Leahs wonderful hound Laurel is now to walk with us and is also keen to receive donations via Leahs page. WALK NOW COMPLETED ...PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY. THANKS TO ALL.
