38 Days Pre-Walk: The Idea and Who's Who

North Walsham Young Farmers have form with charity events, in 2012 a number of the members took part in the Three Peaks Charity Expedition, Rob Norman and Rob Hirst, with a number of others, organised this event. Since then it has often been mentioned that we would like to do something else.

So, pre-Christmas 2014 a group convened at Sarah Ellero's new house and whilst her parents were laying the upstairs carpet we floated a few ideas. The team at these initial meetings was:

• Ella Drake; NWYFC Charity Officer, employee of Grainseeds and recent HAU graduate.
• Sarah Ellero; NWYFC secretary, a member of the Three Peaks organising team, and trainee solicitor at Leathes Prior.
• Harry Jones; NWYFC Vice-Chair, self employed chimney sweep trading as 'Jones the Sweep' and part of his family farm Jones of Antingham.
• Emily Page; NWYFC Program secretary, experienced charity expedition attendee and employee of NIAB TAG.
• Andrew Spinks; NWYFC Hockey Secretary and employee of B&C Farming Ltd.
• John Withers; NWYFC Chairman and part of his family farm J.H Withers and Son.  

None of these ideas from the initial meeting proved fruitful, the best bit of the meeting was Sarah's cooking and the carol singing with Taverham brass band in the Brewery Tap pub afterwards. But the intention to do something was there. The idea of doing a walk took a little while to surface,
