Following a waterlogged Day 2, all the walkers were more than happy to complete the York to Hull section of the walk successfully on a much drier Day 3, with jubilation on arrival at the shores of the Humber (pictures to follow soon, possibly via carrier pigeon). 

Logistical support from the Territorial Army servicemen from Doncaster proved invaluable, demonstrating that it isn't only an army that marches on its stomach. Regular readers of this weblog may already be aware of the value placed on timely and appropriate confectionary. Carrying extra footwear was also a boon to some weary walkers, apparently, and the presence of a backup vehicle to act as backstop in busy traffic was much appreciated, so thanks are due to the enthusiastic TA crew.

Tomorrow, our walkers disembark alone to begin the next stage of their journey. We wish them bon voyage, and hope to read first-hand of their progress across Holland. Keep those pigeons coming.
