Foggy start but Beautiful Walk at Ilam Park 🌿

Sunday 8th Mar
Today’s walk for our 120-mile March challenge took us to the stunning Ilam Park, a National Trust location.
It started off very foggy and wet, but despite the weather we quickly realised what a beautiful place it is. The scenery and surroundings were amazing, even through the mist.
There’s so much to explore there that we definitely didn’t see even half of it, so we’ll certainly be coming back again when the weather improves to see more of what Ilam Park has to offer.
Another great set of miles added to our 120-mile challenge for DofE! 🚶‍♂️

Weekend Walking Challenge Update 🚶‍♀️

Saturday 7th Mar
Today’s walk for our 120-mile March challenge took us to the lovely Stapenhill Gardens.
It was a really nice walk along the river and around the gardens. It was definitely a bit chilly today, but we still had a great time getting the miles in. The gardens were beautiful even at this time of year, and we all agreed it will be amazing to come back later in the year when all the flowers are in full bloom.
After the walk, the activity didn’t stop there! In the afternoon we headed out for archery, which was great fun and helped us sneak in even more steps for the challenge.
Dad has already picked somewhere new for us to visit tomorrow, but he’s keeping it a surprise, so now we’re all really looking forward to finding out where we’re heading next and adding more miles to our total.
More updates coming soon as our 120-mile March challenge for DofE continues! 🚶‍♂️

Taking on 120 Miles in March for DofE!

Wednesday 4th Mar
This March, my parents and I are taking on a big challenge together — walking 120 miles throughout the month to support DofE (The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award)!
We’ll be clocking up the miles over the weekends, exploring new places and making the most of the fresh air while raising money for such an amazing cause. DofE helps young people build confidence, resilience and important life skills through volunteering, physical challenges and expeditions — and I’m really proud to be supporting it.
We kicked off our challenge on 1st March with a visit to the National Trust’s Sudbury Hall and the National Trust Museum of Childhood. It was an amazing start to the month! The hall is beautiful, and the Children’s Country House was so interesting — definitely a great way to begin our 120-mile journey.
There’s something really motivating about setting off knowing every step is going towards supporting other young people to have opportunities and experiences through DofE.
We’ve got more walks planned for this weekend (and plenty more miles to cover!), so keep an eye out for updates as we continue the challenge. Every bit of encouragement and support means so much to us.
If you’d like to donate or share our page, we’d be incredibly grateful. Let’s see how many miles — and how much impact — we can make together this March!
Thank you for supporting us!
