Didn't do my usual Sunday run, instead I did a 7k memory walk for Alzheimer's at Virginia water.

It was a lovely day and I enjoyed the walk took an hour .😀

Well done & for a great cause.

Lovely medal ☺

That's a nice looking medal. Well done. Always think Memory Walk is such a lovely name for the charity/event. Good cause.

We set off at 10am and I got back at 10.59. I kept looking at the people in front of me and thinking I'm going to pass you, I enjoyed it, had earphones in and listened to some good music 😀

Nearer to woking, but I know the park a little - it's lovely. Haven't been for ages though as my daughter has a dog phobia and I think they're off lead there :-(

Yes it's a lovely place, but unfortunately it would be no good for your daughter,there were loads of dogs and most off the leed.

I live in Hayes

I used to live around there and sometimes go back to visit family and have a little run. It's a gorgeous spot. Well done and for such a worthy cause too.
