My Macmillan Charity Fundraising Walk - here, at long last, are the photos.

In the first week of April, I did a charity fundraising walk for Macmillan, along the Kennet & Avon Canal and the River Thames from Bath to Maidenhead. I had planned to walk 109 miles and raise 500 pounds - in the end I walked 130 and raised almost 1600 pounds - it was just a brilliant, wonderful week and I loved every single second of it.

Day 1 - Bath to Winsley - my first steps getting off the train at Oldfield Park station in Bath - no vehicles for a week - just my own two feet!

Bath v Maidenhead - Stuart & Jenny were there to see me off.

Properly on my way - the start of the Kennet & Avon Canal at Bath.

Dundas Aqueduct - from Somerset into Wiltshire.

Not bad for my first overnight stop - Burghope Manor at Winsley.

Day 2 - the first full day - Winsley to Devizes - this is at Bradford-on-Avon.

Perhaps this cyclist gave up.......

Boats aplenty at Hilperton Marina.

A good wholesome lunch at The Somerset Arms in Semington.

The amazing flight of locks at Caen Hill, just before I reached Devizes.

Day 3 - Devizes to Pewsey - pretty blossom near All Cannings.

I had the path to myself almost the whole way today.

It was ace

The disused suspension bridge at Stowell Park.

Pewsey was my stopover for the night - it is a lovely little place.

Day 4 - Pewsey to Hungerford - here I am at Wootton Rivers.

A great motto for the week.

I met up with Steve at Bedwyn and he was my walking buddy for the afternoon.

A well earned rest at The Pelican in Froxfield.

The view from my B & B in Hungerford at the end of the day - not bad!

Day 5 - Hungerford to Thatcham - Kezia and Sarah joined me at Kintbury (just after this photo was taken).

Well over halfway by now - going well!!

A pretty spot on the way into Newbury.

Kezia walked 9 miles - it was a brilliant effort.

Team Browning - recharging our batteries at The Swan in Thatcham at the end of the day.

Day 6 - Thatcham to Woodley - these were my path-side companions as I set off from Thatcham.

A beautiful morning, near Aldermaston.

Lunch at the Cunning Man - it had turned VERY hot by the time I got here!

A pretty weir in the sunshine - near Reading.

I reached the Thames - that is every centimetre of the Kennet & Avon Canal, done and dusted!

Day 7 - the last full day's walk from Woodley to Marlow - this is at Sonning Lock.

Caroline & Adrian - my walking buddies for the morning (at Shiplake).

A nice view of Hambleden Mill.

The deer park near Hurley.

My final overnight stop - in Marlow.

Day 8 - the last day! Marlow to Maidenhead with my friend Richard Longley. This was my last river crossing at Bourne End.

The very last bit of water - Maidenhead bridge.

The final mile! Kezia with Yorkie the Magpie on the last mile through Maidenhead.

Tired but over the moon - my final steps brought me here, to the bar at Maidenhead United - I did it!!

130 miles walked and nearly £1600 raised. I made it! What a brilliant, brilliant experience.

Big blog update for April, May and June!!!

Well, we have finally got round to some major blog updates, showing what we have been up to for the last 3 months. Kezia seems to have had her backwards baseball cap surgically attached for the whole time!! The only major thing missing is my Macmillan charity walk at the start of April - 40 or 50 extra photos of that to follow shortly.

Plenty of water-based fun on Bekah's boiling hot 9th birthday.

Silly costumes with Bekah at Auntie Joe's 40th.

Mummy had the weekend away recently, so Daddy & Kezia went to London. We started with pizza.....

....and then we hit Hyde Park!

After a good play at the playground, we hired a pedalo on the Serpentine.

Kezia at the controls while Daddy put his feet up.

We had a quick look at the outside of Kensington Palace - Kezia wasn't so impressed.
