Anne, you rock. We have walked St Cuthbert's Way. We did see bats in Wooller. But you are going to run it!

Anne Youngman is raising money for Bats without Borders
Event dates: 24th June 2023 – 25th June 2023
The Creaky Old Bat goes ULTRA
Here’s the story in a nutshell;
Who am I? A 63 year old volunteer for Bats without Borders (BWB).
What am I doing? A 45 mile (72 km) ultra marathon (my first ever!)
Why? To support the work of BWB by raising funds and awareness of bats.
Where is the ultra marathon? Over the hills between Melrose and Wooler (in Britain) following part of the Saint Cuthbert’s Way long distance trail.
When? The run starts on Saturday 24 June at sunset (10pm) and I must be finished by 3 pm (tea time) on Sunday 25 June.
Extra - I will have a bat detector attached to my back pack so that I can record bat calls as I run through the night.
I need your help and support in 2 ways.
Why am I asking people to sponsor me for just one mile of the journey?
Why should anyone care about bats?
Because;
Real bats need our protection, this creaky old (human) bat needs your support.
PLEASE - BACK THE OLD BAT!

Sorry, this is not for the fastidious or faint hearted! Peat bog feet, perhaps my feet will stay preserved from now on!

I did a bit of running in the dark, I thought I was really brave until a sheep bleated and scared me almost to death!
Everything looks very different , this is mist rising up from the road, not ghosts !

After running through several peat bogs my socks may never be the same again!
Soggy socks soaking in the sink .They are very mucky but at least they don’t stink,
