Sharing YorkshireWe’re almost there!! The Ramblers are converging on the coast, rucksacks at the ready!! Hazel is modelling our poster on hers… The cat sitter is in charge at home, the sun is shining, and our beloved coastal views are stunning. We’re ready to start walking for Val!
It’s hard to believe that it’s now just 2 days until we set off from the Runswick Bay Hotel on our big adventure raising money for Val! We’ve sorted out our arrangements, packed our things… oh, and we’ve raised over £1500 for Val already! Here are a few photos from today. Best foot forward on […]
OMG!!! 3 days to go! I feel a bit like I did waiting for the various orthopaedic operations I’ve had, just want to get on with it now we’re this close! Val is waiting to keep up with our progress. Thankfully, Tracie has kindly distracted me with her lovely poem for Val and the Reiki […]
My literary efforts yesterday have inspired some of the other Reiki Ramblers to create poems too! Today we’re sharing the one by lovely Christine, our Reiki provider on Sunday May 3rd. She hopes to be at Scarborough North Bay from around 3pm to 4.45pm. Enjoy! I heard about a lady,Val was her given name,a tale […]

Val’s personal message to all you amazing people who have donated to date. We’ve raised over £1250 so far; please, keep spreading the word. THANK YOU.
It’s thanks to Christine that we’re having a Reiki post today! She suggested that it would be a change, so here we are! We plan to offer a limited number of mini Reiki sessions (10-15 minutes) at the end point of each day’s walking. We’ll be at Whitby on May 1st, Ravenscar on May 2nd, […]
We have been assiduously walking to get in shape for the Reiki Ramble! You saw a selection of my photos yesterday: today it’s the turn of some of the other Ramblers! Thanks to them all for their dedication and determination to help Val to get home! Claire has been enjoying the glorious weather while walking […]
I’ve been out and about practising my longer distance walking as it’s just 10 days until we begin the epic Reiki Ramble for Val!! Here are some of my favourite photos from my 11.25m walk and some of the shorter ones too!
