The Walk > Post-Walk Report
Dear Let's Take A Walk 2010 walkers, Here's wishing you a happy and prosperous new year filled with laughter, truckloads of money, showers of good luck and most importantly good health. We have received some feedback and queries about Let's Take A Walk and we welcome any comments and suggestions, good and bad, about the walks, the training sessions and the routes so that we can improve the subsequent walks we organise. Some of the walkers have emailed us in the last few weeks and were curious to find out the number of Let's Take A Walk walkers that have completed the 100km ExtremeWalk and the 50km PowerWalk and how much we have raised. We took some time to sort out the figures and here's the stats as promised.
