On route: keeping cool, sore paws (and feet)
9am -34km walk starts: Those in for the long haul get underway, led off by ultra marathon runner Chris Moon, HALO's Jenny McIvor and an extremely speedy running trio. The rest of us will just settle for making it round with minimal blisters!
10am -15km walk starts: The middle distance teams hit the road, including four-year-old William on his first 15km walk.
11am -5km walk starts: Walkers young and old set off. We are delighted to be joined by octogenarian, Quentin Goggs.
