The "Welland Valley Wander" was a great day out for everyone who took part as well as raising an amazing £4,250 for the Hospice.

The participants, who started from Hothorpe Hall, journeyed through Leicestershire into Rutland to a coffee stop at Barrowden. Lunch was taken at Grimsthorpe Castle in South Lincolnshire and the event ended with a lap of the Bruntingthorpe test track before tea and cakes were taken by the finishers.

Three awards were given: The most travelled went to Paul & Mike Beeson in their Triumph TR2, all the way from Worthing, Sussex. The most original car award went to Paul & Liz Easter in their 1928 Sunbeam and the car that people would most like to take home was overwhelmingly a vote for Richard & Eliza Wyldes’ 1939 BMW 328.

Debbie Dickman, Fundraising Co-ordinator at LOROS said: "This is the sixth year that Andrew and his team have organised this event in support of LOROS and we are delighted that it was another great success as well as raising much-needed funds for our Hospice.

"The money raised this year could pay for the cost of one of our specialist nurses for six weeks and we would like to say a huge thank you to Andrew and everyone who made that possible."
