WEDNESDAY 20TH APRIL-DAY ONE
What an incredible day one!
The sun has shone all day! So many people & businesses came out to wave her off, gave her gifts, make donations and stop for a chat. So many cars pipping and waving, many stopping to make donations too.
We walked through Castleford into Locklane, down to Garforth and into Kippax before heading on to Aberford.
She's walked her socks off and loved it! We made it to Hazlewood Castle for our first night.

THURSDAY 21ST APRIL-DAY TWO

This kid is a rockstar!! She's enjoying every single second, her bag isn't light the walks aren't short but is she still singing and skipping after 20+ miles? You bet!
She's chatted to so many people today. Collected £20 in money donations. Had so many cars buses lorries and vans pipping and waving. Incredible!!
We are so grateful for your 100s of comments/messages/likes/shares, for your donations and many many kind words.
She's just so excited. First night in a Castle and tonight glamping in a pod. Tomorrow onto Malton to stay in a Tudor Mansion.
