8 days before the SPONSORED WALK

The Alnmouth estuary was a gem in the sunshine: the sea was blue and white with yellow sand and a backdrop and foreground of emerald green countryside.

News of the walk has spread to Amble .

More sponsors have come forward and so, this is all looking good.

Flag making:

Staff at the wondercave hardware store at the marina end of the high street in Amble were on the case for providing the correct glue for the job: copydex.

The sail cloth is white and blue and lying in expectant strips on the kitchen table.

The flags will be visible along the walking path. They will mark the way along Lovers' walk . Look out for the flags on the day. Follow the flags!

Flag of South Africa

                                                                  

Photography :

A photographer will take pictures on the day for a record of the event.

If you or your family don’t want your photo taken , please inform the people at registration who will give you a reflective sticker , so the photographer knows not to take your picture.

Today Halford's provided us with the necessary.

flag of Northumberland

The two flags represent the location of the two schools that will benefit from the walk.

This is a walk for education and this was in our thoughts today as we celebrated the birthday of a wonderful South African lady who has defied her past and has learnt to drive , swim and understand the timetable of the 501 bus route from Longhoughton to Berwick during her three years in the UK.

Knowledge is power.
