Intrepid Countrymen conquer the Limestone Way-and Storm Dennis!
Day two was a 12 mile walk to Youlgreave. ‘The weather was shocking as we got the bus to Millers Dale, but amazingly it stopped as we started the walk and didn’t rain till we were nearly at the end”, says Emily. It was Emily’s first multi-day hike, and she did ”really well” according to her dad. “The boost of all that sponsorship gave her a lot of motivation, especially when we saw it had gone over £1000.”
After a night at the George in Youlgreave, day three was the last 8.5 miles over to Matlock. Emily and her dad managed this ok, although some muddy paths made it hard work at times. “Dropping down into Matlock was great through, with Joe and Mum waiting at the end with a red finishing line”, says Dad.
Emily wants to thank everyone at Hallam FC for supporting her efforts, and to those who sponsored her. It’s not too late either – you can still donate at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/limestoneway
