This walk is organised by the Daft as a Brush cancer patient care team. As such it is neither a group social walk nor a challenge walk, but it is definitely a worthwhile walk. Our members have been specifically invited to attend by the Daft as a Brush Team. "This year Brian, cadets, military pipers and supporters will be walking from Sunderland Cenotaph at Mowbray Park to the War Memorial at St Thomas’ Church, Newcastle Haymarket. We’re asking everyone to join in parts of the walk – perhaps just a few yards, a few miles, or the whole distance to remember all Far East Prisoners of War aka the ‘Forgotten Army’. The epic walk will be covering parts of Sunderland, South Shields, Gateshead, and Newcastle. We would love you to join us"

Indeed it is not just a walk, but a fully organised day out. Our members have been specifically invited to attend by the Daft as a Brush Team.
