We left from Derby at 4:45am. Last night I still didn't know what time we were going to leave and I was still in bed when I got the call from Emmanuel at 4:00am this morning. I still managed to have get up, have a wash, and get dressed before they arrived.
Our walk started at 5:50am from Spratton Grange Lodge. Because of the long distance that we covered yesterday, we really struggled today - both Emmanuel and I have blisters from yesterday. I never really thought we would manage even five miles today, but we did 9.5 miles in all which got us past Northampton and on the road to Gayhurst.
We visited the Kings Thorpe Methodist Church in Northampton today. People we met there were really sympathetic for all the things that are happening in Africa, especially the current situation in Zimbabwe. They prayed for us and we received a generous donation from individuals including Grace Richards, Mary Winchombe and Norma Baxter. They were all really kind to us and wished us good luck on what we are doing.
Our day co-ordinator was Edwin who did a wonderful job like all the others have done. Without the co-ordinators and other supports we couldn't have got this far. Thank you to everyone who has been involved.
