A huge thank you to everyone who donated to us.

One team member had to pull out at checkpoint 7 but Mum, James and I made it to the finish line in 25 hours and 38 minutes. We had to contend with mud (lots of it!), rain, thunder and lightning and fog but our wonderful support crew got us through with treats, food and hot drinks. We’ve raised over £5000 (including gift aid) for Oxfam and The Gurkha Welfare Trust and are wearing our blisters with pride this morning.

A team of four from Gould Electronics (Marie Gould, Cynthia Skewes, James Cannicott and Lindsey Higman) have signed up for Oxfam’s Trailwalker 2012. The aim is to complete the 100km Trailwalker route across the South Downs in less than 30 hours (the route’s distance and elevation is apparently equivalent to two and a half marathons and climbing Ben Nevis and Snowdon!) and the money raised is to be split equally between Oxfam and the Gurkha Welfare Trust..

Three of Gould Electronics’ biggest suppliers, Fylde Micro, Airsys Communications (in partnership with Vertex Standard) and TrakRanger Ltd have agreed to sponsor the team and a number of people have already made donations and pledges. The team have pledged to raise at least £2000 and are looking at arranging a number of events (including a car boot sale and a coffee morning) to help with fundraising. Training has begun in earnest and the group are hoping to equal or beat the average completion time of 25 hours.
