Walking the Golden Gate Bridge for The Buccleuch Centre

The main task for today was to walk the Golden Gate Bridge as my Sponsored Walk in place of the Umbrella Walk back in Langholm on 19th March. I am walking for The Buccleuch Centre. Fraser took the day off from his work and the 3 of us headed of to San Francisco. The forecast for the day was to keep dry but it was not too hot so ideal for walking.

Half way there on the first crossing and Gaye looks a bit cold but was more concerned about her hat flying off in the strong wind
A small harbour on the north side of the bridge looks just like Queensferry on the Forth Bridge

Well done Gaye. Its a great feeling when you complete something you have planned for a long time and as this is the longest Gaye has walked for a long time and bearing in mind what she has gone through in the past couple of years both Fraser and I were very proud of her.
On return home we found Eleanor had been given this Medal at school for her reading abilities. Well done Eleanor.
