Delia walks 100 miles for the Barn Owl Trust!

A note from Delia

We are looking forward to walking 100 miles in 2025 to raise funds for the Barn Owl Trust.

For the last three years I have been walking 1000+ miles a year locally – the equivalent distance of Land’s End to John O’Groats. Last year the heading was ‘Now I am in my 80th year’ – now, however, it will have to be – ‘Now I am 80!’ – and again, we are looking forward to walking 100 miles locally and car free in 2025 to raise funds.

My name is Delia and having reached this new milestone ‘TTT’ and I would really like to ‘celebrate’ our many blessings and walk 100 miles locally to support the vital work of the Barn Owl Trust.

To let you know who the ‘We’ might be, let me introduce you to my little companion who rides in the pouch on my backpack. He is a very well-travelled little bear particularly in Scotland and around this local (Devon) area. His main claim to fame however is when he accompanied a trio of cyclists who rode from London to Glasgow to attend COP 26 summit in Glasgow in November 2021.

I had read the book ‘Cold Hands, Warm Heart’ by Tess Burrows and was so amazed by her story of courage and adventurous determination that I contacted her. Since then we have kept in touch and I wondered if she would take my little companion with her to Glasgow on the back of her bike! What a story he would have to tell! I was delighted when she said she would take him and indeed it was she who named him TTT – Team Together Ted! Hence, I feel very honoured to have him as a little companion on my various fund-raising travels.

We hope to start walking in October – weather permitting – and we will keep you updated about our progress with a ‘diary’ and a photo or two.
