Thanks to all who supported Buxton team members in the 2014 Four Inns Walk. 

All three teams completed the forty mile course although two members retired on route.   The Buxton “Fastens” finished in fifteen hours despite being diverted to a rescue incident on Kinder Scout.

The weather was not kind from the start with low cloud and drizzle for most of the way hampering navigation.  As darkness fell the weather worsened with heavy rain.

The “Oldens” finished the route in twenty hours and a minute with just one of their original party of four retiring at Edale.   The Lasses did especially well completing the whole route in eighteen hours and fifty-six minutes and took third place in the Falcon Trophy for the fastest female team finishing together.

It was a great success with an amazing sense of achievement for those taking part.   All the participants send a huge “Thank-you” to all those who offered support throughout the walk with texts and shouts of encouragement.

Sponsorship is still being counted but at least £500 has been raised for the rescue team.  Kerry, in the Lasses team, was walking in aid of Dementia UK and has so far raised over £400.
