Lands End to John O'Groats 2007

This blog is in memory of Sophie Pollock, who sadly passed away from a brain tumour in February 2007. To raise money towards brain tumour research Sophie's mother, Carol, is walking from Lands End to John O'Groats. The walk will begin on 8th April, Sophie’s 15th birthday. Walking for over three months, Carol will cover over 1,100 miles on this mammouth trek taking in parts of the Penine Way, West Highland Way and the Cotswold Way. On route she will be joined by family and friends.
