Today brings week 3 to an end… first of all, I’d like to thank everyone who has supported and donated so far. Without you this would not be possible. As I am writing this, I have raised £240 and walked a total of 63.01 miles.

During my walks, I have been working on walk ideas for the future of this challenge, focusing on what represents Michael and his crew.

During my research I have come across records that I have found out about Michael’s journey in the RAF. These include places like Lords cricket ground, where he attended the aircrew receiving centre. I hope to complete some of my walks at these locations, in the coming months.

I have spent this week collecting all of the crew members names that he flew with, throughout the duration of his 28 sorties. He flew with a total of 12 other brave men. In the coming weeks I will name these individuals and cover their individual stories.

This week has been a challenge, as I have been slightly under the weather, but I am pleased to say I completed all 7 walks.

They are as follows:

Walk 15: walk around Lechlade, with photo at St Johns Lock

Walk 16: walked around Fairford and the picture is outside Fairford Hospital

Walk 17: walk around Fairford and stopped for a photo outside St Mary’s Church

Walk 18: walk around Lechlade on Thames… oops forgot to take a photo of myself but here’s a picture of the lovely sunset I saw on the walk!

Walk 19: travelled to Essex and picked up my Niece and Nephew from school

Walk 20: walk around High Wood Country Park and stopped for a photo outside the Visitor Centre

Walk 21: had to be creative and walked around Poplar Garden Centre… trickier to get the 3 miles in here!

I look forward to the next week’s walks, even if the weather doesn’t look to be so kind once again, but until next time. Bye for now.
