David Lewis meets his Challenge David Lewis one of Rendezvous' long term members had been ill recently and as part of his recovery started to take daily short local walks of about one and a half miles then extended the walks to four miles walking from his home in Dundonald to the Old mill on the road to Newtownards. It had always been a dream of David's to walk 100 miles in one week and so one morning recently he woke up feeling good and decided to take on this mighty challenge. Day 1 went well achieving between 14 & 16 miles. It was important to be consistent and maintain this level of mileage each day as one bad day could mean his challenge would not be achieved. Each day he continued to make good progress reaching the required number of miles but by Day 7 and on his final day things got very difficult with foot blisters and leg strain slowing down his progress. However showing great grit and determination David Lewis achieved his goal and ambition walking 100 miles in one week. David said he fulfilled a dream but would not recommend to anyone as it was very tough. Congratulations to David on this fantastic achievement. It shows with the right attitude, drive and determination you can fulfill your dream. FELLOWSHIP
