Day 114 & Day 115 - A thank you to Rudding Park and walking in West Sussex

Rudding Park

Last Wednesday, the 114th day of my BRIT 2012 Mile walk, I left the North of England for West Sussex. My three days in Harrogate, York and Skipton were educational, at times emotional and thoroughly enjoyable. The warmth and hospitality I receive on the road continues to amaze me and over the last three days I have been looked after by the staff of the Rudding Park Hotel http://www.ruddingpark.co.uk/ who kindly hosted me for my time in the area.

As you know, the BRIT 2012 Challenge has no sponsors, no costs are met by BRIT as a charity and the support I receive goes a long way.

My sincere thanks to Jennifer Burrows, and all the team at Rudding Park, for looking after me in an absolutely beautiful location.

I arrived back in Sussex during the afternoon and managed to walk for the remainder of the day and finished with 1170 miles to go. When I am back in West Sussex, the results of driving so much hits me hard and on Thursday I felt absolutely exhausted. It was a day for recharging, rehydrating and sorting out my personal administration from the BRIT car to all the washing I had accumulated over the previous 10 days. I managed to walk 5 very long and tiring miles and finished the 115th day with 1165 miles to go.

Best wishes,

Phil
