Walking 40 miles in 1 day is some feat. Now imagine doing it in the Lake District with its steep uphill gradients, in heavy rain and strong winds.
Cox Motor Group completed the gruelling Keswick to Barrow Walk for the North West Air Ambulance on Saturday. The team from Cox Motor Group (better known as Blackpool, Preston, Kendal and Lancaster Honda, Lancaster Volkswagen and Kendal SEAT) gritted their teeth and completed the event in 11 hours and 49 minutes.
This is the fourth K2B walk that Cox Motor Group has finished and once again the North West Air Ambulance is to benefit from the hard won sponsor money. The final figure has not yet been totalled up, but is expected to be as much as £5,000.
The North West Air Ambulance is a charity that is exceptionally close to our hearts here at Cox Motor Group. The charity relies on donations alone, so every penny really does count in saving lives!
