MANY of you will no doubt have had a flutter on the Grand National last Saturday afternoon, so Memories is continuing the horse theme with this picture from 1986.

Gloria Townsend and her daughter Geraldine who organised a 100-mile trek to raise money for charity in 1986.

The six-day trail stretched through the Lake District from Milnthorpe to Broughton-in- Furness taking in the spectacular Wrynose Pass between Langdale and Seathwaite, travelling on roads, tracks and bridleways.
