Everything!! And lots of photos!

So, we made it! And we have reached £5500 which is massively over our target. On day ten, we virtually crawled the 13 miles to the Eiffel tower... But when we made it? It was amazing!!

We all touched the tower at the same time (and geekily high fived and hugged) before collapsing on the floor, calling our mums and crying down the phone!!

But, we did it! 180 miles, 10 days- done! We feel so proud to have received so much support during the year long build up, the actual walk and now all the congratulations since we returned!!

We've been home for almost 6 weeks now and it kinda feels like we never did it!! (basically it doesn't hurt to walk anymore)- its all very surreal and we're struggling to remember how hard it was.. Until we see our poor feet and then we remember!

We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who sponsored us, be it through money, time, advice or anything else!! We couldn't have done it without your support :)


Here's some photos from the last day! We had a wonderful champagne and steak dinner followed by some fancy cocktails!

Love Emily, Jenny and Leanne x
