Puddles, soggy clothes and Christian Aid

The wettest Christian Aid Walk in memory didn't put off a hardy band of walkers from churches in Oadby and beyond.

We trudged the wet fields and muddy paths of Oadby, Evington, Thurnby all the way to Houghton where there were refreshments at St Catherines and a chance to shelter from the downpour.

Some heroic souls set off for the walk back to St Paul's, while most of us were content to call it a day and return by car.

A big 'well done' to all who made such a splendid effort and to everyone whose contributions through sponsorship will go to Christian Aid. And thanks to Colin for organising it all.
