Hippychick more than doubles its target for 25km charity walk

Hippychick has beat its fundraising target of £1,000 and raised £2,300 for Musgrove Park Hospital’s Paediatric Department on a 25km walk last week to celebrate its 25th year in business.

The walk from Spaxton to Nether Stowey across the Quantocks on the hottest day of the year so far, took eight hours with three pit stops for refreshments and ice cream along the way.

Pictured, from left to right, is an exhausted but triumphant Hippychick team at the finishing post – Scott Bateman, Jeremy Minchin, Mandy Young, Rose Slocombe, Mike Bird, Aquille Pociute, Annaliese Deakin, Julia Minchin and Alan Houghton.
