Yesterday on Sunday 11th September 2016, CDS Electrical hosted our first ever walking charity event. A long distance walk from Hastings Pier to Eastbourne Pier (hence the name 'Pier to Pier' was born).
The 15 mile walk that took us along the Sussex coast through Hastings, St. Leonard's, Bexhill, Collington, Cooden Beach, Normans Bay, Pevensey and Westham, Sovereign Harbour and Eastbourne allowed us to see various different landmarks along the way. The weather was on brilliant form, with blue skies throughout the entire day. Virtually no wind, and glorious hot sunshine.
21 of us took part in the challenge and we all finished at the finish line within five minutes of each other. A great team effort; all coming together to raise money for a great charity. At the time of writing this post we have managed to raise over £500 for the Chestnut Tree House - Children's Hospice. Wowee.
Some of us are looking slightly red faced today from the extreme heat; but it was all worth it. We are already talking in the office about our next fundraising event.
