Day Two of Greenkeepers Port to Port challenge

Latest News from the Team

Tiring second day, Stuart also gets some moral support from Paul Lowe

Stuart comments :- We walked 2 hand mowers from Middleton in Manchester 37 miles to Wakefield with the best team ever!

Must say, without doubt the most fun, gruelling, and unbelievably emotionally draining day of my life.

Feet, thighs and mind absolutely battered...full stop!!

Another 32 miles tomorrow on the yomp from Wakefield to goole!

So very proud of the team I could cry!!!!

Just a reminder of what the team are attempting to achieve walking approximately 130 miles from Albert Dock in Liverpool to the Port of Hull in just four days pushing four pedestrian Ransomes mowers all the way. The aim is to complete thirty plus miles a day to keep them on target to reach their destination by Monday evening .

The mowers which have all been made safe (disconnected the blades), and were kindly supplied by Ransomes Jacobsen (www.ransomesjacobsen.com) who are supporting the challenge to raise much needed funds for this worthy cause.

We hope to give you progress reports from the team as they make their way eastwards across the country.
