Sponsorship update

The great news is that we've now raised £915 towards our target of £1500. As we're walking 100 kms, that means we're aiming to raise £15 for every kilometre we walk which in turn means we've raised the equivalent of  61 kms so far. And when we have walked 61 kms we'll have passed Steyning, the end of the sixth stage of the walk, and be on our way to Devil's Dyke.

Devil's Dyke

According to legend, the devil was digging a trench to allow the sea to flood the churches in Sussex. The digging disturbed an old woman who lit a candle. This made the devil believe that it was already morning and he fled the site leaving behind a large V-shaped valley in the chalk grassland. According to one website, it is the largest dyke in the UK and here's a lovely view of it.
