Resolute ramblers who spent five hours clocking up the miles on a sponsored walk around Mote Park have handed over a cheque for £1,700.

Ex-Maidstone United goalkeeper Les Apps led a group of eight fundraisers on the stroll, in aid of Peggy Woods Breast Cancer charity.

The team included John Tobin, Phoebe Fitzgerald, Alan Butcher, John Edmunds , John Burns, Clair Hicks and Scottie Sparkes.

Some of the group made it to five laps, the equivalent of 18 miles.

The cheque was presented to the charity at Lashings Sports Bar in Upper Stone Street earlier this month.

Mr Apps said: “We’ve organised 10 fundraising football matches, 10 sponsored bike rides, and now want to make it to 10 walks as well.

"This was the fifth and we’re already looking ahead to next year when we’ll probably go back to doing a river walk between Tonbridge and Maidstone.”
