From Samantha Mears, Freshwater:

MY two daughters, Jessica (Case), 16, and Tallulah, six, walked the entire Walk the Wight with myself in loving memory of their grandad, my dad, Alan Baker, my cousin’s husband, Peter Marshall, and our dear friend, Chris Weston.

Jessica’s lovely boyfriend, Jacob Roach, was persuaded to join us.

Because of Tallulah’s age we decided to do the walk over two days, eight hours a day. To make this possible we camped at an amazing camp site in Carisbrooke, Windmills, right next to the castle.

All in all it was certainly a memorable weekend, I know the people we did it for would think we were round the bend but we had the last laugh!

I have so much respect for the people who work or volunteer at Mountbatten and although we raised just shy of £200, we would love to add to that, so anyone who didn’t get round to sponsoring someone, could you? Please e-mail sammears@outlook.com.
