The morning dawned quite bright. It looked as if the weather was going to be good to us as we prepared for the walk over the bridge in our swimwear.

Now those of you that know me - know that I am not small and the thought of wearing just a swimsuit to do this walk was quite daunting. However I thought it is all in a good cause so swallowed my pride and got ready to go.

Kirsty-Lee’s mum knows that there can be a brisk wind blowing across the bridge so dressed her for the weather. When I picked her up she was wrapped up in a tracksuit and a windcheater jacket. I was quite envious (lol).

We all met in the car park on the Fife side of the bridge, and true to their word, everyone was in swimwear. Well done to all of the girls that took part. Some were even in bikinis. Of course they had the figures to justify that.

The sun was shining when we set off and we were no sooner on the bridge when the rain started. It was just a light shower and soon passed. Car and lorry drivers honked their horns at us as we waved to them as they passed. The local radio station, Wave 102, has announced the walk on their show that morning so people were looking out for us.

When we got to the end of the bridge we made our way to the Bond pub. Margaret and Lenny had agreed to put on snacks for us for when we finished.

Margaret Stewart, in full collection flow, took a bucket round the pub and collected even more money.

Kirsty-Lee had a fine time watching the antics of everyone and had a thoroughly good day. We danced around the pub and when everyone was ready to go home we said our farewells.

Thank you once again to all who took part and to all who sponsored us.

The final tally will hopefully be done by the end of the week and the total will be posted on the website.
