Oxfam Trailwalker 2015 12:15 - Jul 1 with 1303 views | wessex_exile | Chaps As previously mentioned in the Nepal thread, a foolhardy team of four walkers from our company are going for the Oxfam Trailwalker 2015 challenge this year - 100km non-stop day and night in just 30 hours, and if that wasn't enough, over the very hilly South Downs as well. The event is organised by the Queen's Brigade of Gurkhas, and raises funds for the incredibly important help and support that Oxfam provides, not least following the dreadful events that occurred in the Gurkha's very own Nepal recently. It is both fitting and poignant that this year also marks the 200th anniversary of the Gurkhas becoming part of the British Army. Slightly less foolhardy, I have volunteered as part of the Support team (also of four) for the challenge. We are close to our original target, but ideally want to smash right through that, so any financial support you can provide, however modest, would be enormously appreciated. I thank you all in anticipation. https://www.justgiving.com/Wessex-Archaeology/ | |

Oxfam Trailwalker 2015 on 11:44 - Jul 3 with 1228 views | pwrightsknees | Good Man, Wessex. Will obviously donate. But Mrs PWK has all our co-ordinates for charity donations and tax relief, and she is away for a few days, so it'll be middle of next week before our contribution hits your fund. | | | |

Chapeau to those doing something to raise funds to help alleviate the situation in Nepal. As I think I've said elsewhere I was truly humbled by my brief chat with h a member of the Gurkha regiment at Lords in May. Not much moves an old cynis like me but he did. | |

I offer no apology for the blatant bump, but with regard to the Gurkhas, I understand their team RUNS the route! That's got to hurt! | |
