Newspaper report

Submitted by Mr Graham Knight on

The Kidderminster Shuttle did us a great article on Thursday 27th Februrary 2009. The report along with a photo gave readers no doubt as why we are undertaking this walk. Its the biggest report I can ever remember in the Shuttle and I have had a number of people comment what a good report it is. You can see the article on their website by clicking here.

New Year Update

Submitted by Mr Graham Knight on

Its great that the two Companies of 1st Lye and 1st Kidderminster can come together as one. This challenge is something to look forward to and it will also be something to look back in years to come.

On the November camp the Seniors did some walking form Coopers Mill to the visitor centre and back. This was 6 miles in two hours. This gave the Seniors an small insight into the 95 miles that will be covered in July 2009. But this year we will be walking for some 8 hours a day with a rucksack, plenty of training to come.
