Shelterbox have had a busy week this week, after the events in Italy with the dreadful earthquake, so far A ‘tent city’ to house more than 300 homeless people has been put up in the village of Assergi. 20 tents have been used so far with an additional 200 tents will be arriving in the area on 9 April. ShelterBox has a four-person volunteer team in Italy. Below is a picture of a Shelterbox tent in Italy.
Anyway training hasn't been great in the past few days due to a death in the family, however today I completed a long 16 plus mile walk, along the Teignmouth and Dawlish Way, heading from Teignmouth to Luton, then onto Ideford then to Ashcombe before heading back to the coast to Dawlish and then back home to Teignmouth. It's a 14 mile trail, but I then had to walk back to Teignmouth and I got a little lost at one point and probably did at least another mile or so until I got back on track. The Teignmouth and Dawlish Ramblers have just launched this walk with a new brochure (which is available throughout town). The walk goes through some beautiful countryside and the weather was fantastic, however my legs now ache and have enjoyed the last hour sat at home resting!Here is a picture from today's long walk.
Below is a clipping from today's page 2 of the Teignmouth News which is Teignmouth's free paper that is delivered to all the homes in the area.
