Training day 5 has two blogs which means we completed 10 Training days. Everyone is excited about Sunday, if not a little nervous. We are looking forward to the day and our sponsor sheets will be collected in next week and money put into the tribute page. We are confident we will smash our target. Thanks to everyone who have contributed, supported and been sympathetic to all of our ailments in taking up this challenge. Linsay is missed so much but this will always keep her memory going.

TRAINING DAY 5

20th April 2015
Well we really are pushing the boat out by all training hard. This was our 2nd weekend out on a road trip. Last weekend we went to the West End on a 12 mile trip. This weekend we went to Bells Bridge (a slightly shorter trip) but 5 of the team continued to the west end - Well Done. We've came up with a name for our team which takes in the theme from housing and the "come wine with me" groups. We are now team WINEHOUSE!!!
