Walk 2 Padley Gorge 13th May 2018 This time we decided to walk Padley Gorge! On a wet weekend. Team members on this walk were - Amy, Martha, Lizzie, Wendy with support from Charlie- chief bug catcher, Nick, Evie and of course Bertie the border Terrier! Evie, Charlie and Martha. A gentle ramble down with a spot of lunch to get us back up the hill saw Martha and Evie tackle the largest chip butty I have ever seen!! Charlie was in charge of collecting bugs for his bug hotel and collected a beetle, an ant, a caterpillar! They were all happily (!) Rehoused in his bug hotel! Next time we are uping the effort with a tougher walk....

Walk 1... Saturday 24th March 2018 We had to start somewhere so started with a gentle walk round Dam Flask.. 3.8 miles and pretty flat! Team Members on this walk Wendy, Amy, Becky, support from Lauren and our training mascot Bertie the border terrier! During the walk... After the walk!

What... A walk up Snowdon and back down again! Who... Team Medical daycare and Friends currently includes... Amy Clarke, Martha Butlin, Lizzie Deugo, Becky Wallace, Laura Cameron-Clarke, Wendy Hart, Anita Robinson, Shelly Deighton, Katie Cameron-Clarke and Sukhvinder Dhillon. Watch this space for new recruits... Why..... The most important bit... Last year we walked part of the Cleveland way from Robins Hood bay to Scarborough a total of 18 Miles. We did all of that to honor a beloved patient who passed away aged just four. The funds raised went to The Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity. Whilst completing that walk we decided to challenge our selves to another walk, to keep raising funds for the hospital we work at to support our little  Medical daycare unit and our amazing patients. So we came up with the idea of Snowdon! Yikes...   Team MDC Scarborough 2017 How.... With our legs and team spirit!  When.... September 15th 2018 ...
