Over half way into a special fundraising walk honouring the late Frome Rotary President and the walkers are still going strong, blessed by the recent great weather.
With another five days ahead of them, there are still 68 miles to complete along the strenuous Mendip Ring route, but they have also been boosted by having raised nearly £1500.
Karl's Walk celebrates the life of the former President and stalwart of the local scouting movement, Karl Waldeck, who died suddenly last year.
His friends set up a memorial walk of 120 miles on the long distance footpath to raise money for his favoured charity, Classrooms in the Cloud.

The walkers began on May 29, covering 13.9 miles on that first leg and the longest route this coming Sunday from Keinton Mandeville to Batcombe, which stretches 14.8 miles.
