SO MANY SIGNS BUT ONLY ONE PATH.....

Just 2 weeks ago today, the CTOG team set off on their walk from Canterbury to Guildford.  We would like to thank all our sponsors and supporters in making CTOG14 such a great success and for helping us reach our initial fundraising target of £7,500.  We are now hoping we might reach our secondary target of £10,000 with the wonderful generosity we are being shown.....

On behalf of Guildford Street Angels
"THANK YOU"
The start of it all....
Time to reflect and decide where to go next......or simply find the clues!


Walking along part of a European route and the National Cycle Network.....


Linking with local train stations....


A linear route with the occasional roundabout!


Location of the next CTOG team rendezvous point?


 It's that way......
 

And still a long way to go.....
 

Streetsigns......

And cairns in the middle of nowhere.....


The acorn - the official National Trail symbol


And then there's all the circular discs with arrows along the way in an array of different colours (denoting footpaths, bridleways, byways and restricted byways etc).....

 

 
 


Crossing other paths along the way.....


Celebrating their 350th Anniversary, the Royal Marines covered circa 4,136 miles by ski, sail, canoe, cycle and foot, their aim being to encapsulate the Commando spirit and Corps values in a significant physical and mental challenge.....just like CTOG!!


Yes, it really does exist!

A school with its own National Trail

 

A better class of sign in Surrey!


Signposts all along the way to guide us home.....


Up hills, down hills, across fields, through woods, past towns and villages, along tracks and roads and over land managed by Surrey CC, Kent CC, the Woodland Trust and The National Trust.....


God is good - he brought us safely home after having walked the equivalent of over 4.5 marathons with no injuries or mishaps.....


Good is the path from Canterbury to Guildford.....and maybe a sign of more things to come!
