A Walk for Michael – Part 5

Today brings us to the end of week 6 of my walking challenge. Once again thank you for all of your support and donations.

A few weeks ago I was asked how much I was looking to raise, to which I said I wasn’t sure but I was happy with any amount. This is still true today, however I have decided I would like to set myself the target of £1 per mile of the 1071 miles I will be walking.

I keep telling myself that maybe I should have a day off from walking, however this never seems to happen and again this week I have completed 7 walks. They are as follows:

Walk around Fairford with a photo taken outside of the Palmer Hall

 

Outside The Royal International Air Tattoo HQ
Walk 38
The Concorde commemorative plaque outside of The Bull Hotel
Temple Church
Walk around Bristol
– inside Cabot Circus Shopping Centre
The Railway Inn

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As of today, I have completed 142.7 miles.

On my 40th walk I walked around Bristol’s Festival of Light 2024, with one of the light installations at Temple Church. This attraction was called the unfolding. The church was bombed during the Bristol Blitz and was more or less destroyed. During the Bristol Blitz 1299 people were killed and 1303 were injured, with four of Bristol’s churches being damaged. This was my favourite of the Festival of Light’s attractions as it resembled search lights.
