The 8 Mile Dambuster Walk took place on 17th May around Ladybower Reservoir, Derbyshire. Mrs Sissons an 82 year old lady from Bolsover, Derbyshire, completed the walk and raised £213 towards the total. Entrants who completed the event where presented with a specially designed mug kindly donated by the 'Dambuster Museum' along with their well deserved LLR Medal.

Event Organiser Keith Griffiths said "we all had a great day, the weather, scenery, wildlife and history of the area was fantastic. Well done to all entrants in raising this amount of sponsorship."

What a fantastic effort from all concerned - especially Mrs Sissons! If I can still walk 8 miles at the age of 82 I'll be absolutely delighted!
