One of the entrants, Gill Yard, from Horsham, completed the three mile route. She said: “I wanted this photo taken to prove to my son, who runs marathons, that I could take on my own challenge!”
Another walker commented: “I so enjoyed the great company of other walkers as well as the beautiful Sussex landscape, while doing something for a very good cause.”
