Red Nose

Charity Walk

Sumo Red Nose Day Walk!

I and my sister Bethany were bored on Friday 13th March. Then we started to think about comic relief which was on that night; we thought we'd like to be apart of it. We didn’t have a clue what we would do to raise the money. Then it came to us as the obvious solution to walk up a big hill in a sumo suite with a bucket!

We didn’t want everyone to think that we hadn’t done it, so we got our trusty camera-man John Townhill to come with his camera and photograph us. He also helped us with navigation (although we had a few problems, but I’ll get to that later) and going round the village getting money off all the smiling pedestrians. And then we were off up the hill! John took a few minutes to calculate a route and we ended up going through the church steps and round the back of the church, up a hill, over a stile, through a field, and to a gate. At this point we realised that there was a quicker route which was down by paradise pool, so we turned back and went up that way. We got to the top and were very proud of our achievement. We took some photos and got back down Piquet hill. We ended up in Edington, exhausted! So I called my mum and off we were; back into Bratton. On our little adventure we raised £32.42 just from people in the street. We would like to thank everyone who contributed and gave their money and we look forward to doing something even wackier next year!
