More than 40 people took part in the David Gibson Memorial Walk which departed the Fighting Cocks pub, Wendens Ambo, at 11am last Sunday.
The walk is an annual event and raises money for the Arthur Rank Hospice in Cambridge.

The walk was organised by Anne with help from her daughter Julie and her son-in-law Rudd.
