Welcome to our new team member, Jennifer!

Sadly, we have to announce that Sally has bowed out of this year’s Trailwalker, due to being submerged by an ever-increasing pile of work.

This stumped us for a while, but after pouring several glasses of wine down her throat, and then explaining that it would be a doddle, Jackie has managed to persuade her very good friend Jennifer Fox to join the team!

Joking aside, Jennifer is a great addition to the team – a half marathon runner – and avid cyclist, she is already on top form – as she proved when she came out on her first practice walk with us, which just happened to be 45 kilometres! She took it all in her stride and even ran the last 4 Km home.

For those who don’t know Jennifer, she is American but has lived in France for more than 25 years, and lives in Dieulefit (where I, Jackie lives) with her French husband Stephane, her two dogs and her three donkeys.

At last, Jackie, who has been doing all her practice walks alone up till now, will have someone to walk with, the only question is will she be able to keep up with Jennifer!
