I've got the map now, but I don't remember the area with 100% clarity...

Mater asked me to check - is the route 'cross-country' at any point (e.g. uneven ground), or is it well-beaten paths? She's worried she might be a bit slow on a rough route?

I'm going to see if I can raise some sponsorship at aikido tonight!!!

By the way Oxfam isn't written OXFAM any more :-)

It looks fairly well-beaten, though the elevation goes from 110 to 70 and back up again (units unknown). Not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs. The picture on the web site I linked to above looks a bit hilly, but this chap's pictures look fairly flat (he did the 14-miler, which is a different route).

Oops! Of course it's not written OXFAM...

It did used to be, many years ago :-)

Mater's walking club regularly does 5 miles over ploughed fields in the winter, but that is quite hard going and slow. Suitable for wheelchairs would have to be really flat and level unless you were a wheelchair athelete, after all.

When all's said, Oxfam don't want these walks to be very hard :-)
