Walking my socks off
Over the last week, I've been doing a sponsored walk of 50,000 steps raising money for Guide Dogs for the Blind in the Walk Your Socks Off Challenge.
Day 5 was wind powered, and partly through this stunning park entrance. 
Today I completed it, and am up to 54,693 steps and counting. For those who are unable to follow me on Facebook or Twitter, here's a snapshot of the week.
Day 1 of the Guide Dog challenge involved llama socks, views of the Mersey, a walk up Zig-Zag Road (very appropriate while listening to a BBC Sounds spy story), and more healthy options courtesy of a local skate park.
Day 2. Socks of the day. Fuelled by flamingos, and up to 15,000 steps.
Day 3 looked like this...
Day 4 was powered by sunshine, garden plants gone feral, and some gaily coloured brickwork. 30,000 steps+ and counting.
On Day 6, I met Betty the seal.
The final day featured lonely churches and pink flowers.
Much to my delight, I smashed the challenge with 54,593 steps and counting.
Many thanks to all who have contributed so far. It has been much appreciated. The current total stands at £225 (with another £43.75 in Gift Aid). Thank you so much!
