Samuel Lewis 9D wanted to raise money for the Princess Royal University hospital children and young people's ward, where he spent a few nights earlier this year.

So on a sunny day during half term he set out to walk the 20 miles from his home in Orpington to TWGSB in St John's Road.

After an early start at 6am, he reached Sevenoaks in time for breakfast, then made it to Tonbridge by early afternoon. After being joined there by his brother Joshua, his Mum, and the family dog, he finished the last few miles by 3pm, in time for a well earned rest.

The walk was smooth if tiring, the weather stayed good, and the party only got lost once, after crossing under the M25 near Otford. He kept his cool and thankfully didn't hold it against his Dad for taking a wrong turn.

£200 was raised for the PRU, which was delivered and much appreciated before the end of half term. Samuel enjoyed proving it was possible to walk to school from Orpington to Tunbridge Wells, but will go back to taking his usual 1 hour coach ride from now on!
