MNHQ are doing the Moonwalk - please sponsor us

Um was early on - first couple of miles I think, but thought it was a saloon / possibly estate type car... real idiot driving it! I REALLY hope the police guy radio'd ahead to get someone to sort him, but at the time he was just trying to stop a batch of women get run over! We were just in front of the car when it happened and it scared us, can only imagine for the women stuck in its way!

Mice, I agree the waiting around and hold ups took its toll! All the actual walking was mostly at my training pace, I should have finished at least 1.5hrs before I did! But the worst for me was the paving was awful compared to where I've trained, my feet were so sore by half way! I was so exhausted by the end I was ready to burst into tears any minute, but I still loved it and would do it again next year! *

• with a few lessons learned of course!!!

I think that encouraging volunteers for the next Walk could be a big thing for MN - to go with the Walking. The event wouldn't work without them.

Well done you and the other volunteers as well, Balthazar.

TeamMumsnet I would not have wanted you to come back to whoop at me, you had bigger things to deal with. I've done the full moon and keep going is always my advice. (I told off some lads who kept trying to stop ladies for selfies) I was meant to be walking my zone but we didn't have enough volunteers so the leaders had to stay in position. So next year any extra volunteers always welcome

Well done everyone treat yourselves kindly this week you have all done amazing things!

Oh yes, wouldn't have missed it for the world! It was a true friendship bonding experience, we had one take a tumble (blood and everything!) at mile 1 and another with painful joints from mile 5 yet we laughed supported and chatted our way to that finish line and crossed hand in hand as a team and even firmer friends.

Well done though, mice.

Despite the trials and troubles, were you pleased you did it?

I completed the full moon as part of a team of 6 raising over £2000. We had an amazing time, despite the odd injury etc along the way we all finished still smiling! The volunteers were all fab - but the hanging around for 3 hours before we could even start just before midnight and then all the delays and bottlenecks making our first 5 miles take 2.5 hours were very frustrating - and queuing for 40 minutes at one loo stop was frustrating. All the stopping and starting meant we got cold and I am sure made it much harder than our training suggested it would be. For anyone doing it in the future - the rules of wearing just a bra were ignored by at least 95% of participants and no one batted an eyelid. I wore a vest, thermal, the bra t-shirt with my decorated bra on top and then a fleece zipped up over the top - and gloves. I was still really chilly each time I had to stop! I would have frostbite if I had tried walking in just a bra! It is such an achievement and I am so glad I took part and even though last night I could hardly move I am back to normal today !!

Do you think the driver came to recognise the error of his ways?

Same start as me then! Did you see the silly driver force his way through the swarm of ladies - with the Police Traffic Officer guy trying to stop him?!

That's possibly not such a bad thing, though, if it was fairly dry. (Given how hot you can get just walking.) Imagine if it had been hot and humid from the start?

Which start were you guys in? I looked out but didn't have a hope of spotting you really!

Well done Team Mumsnet.

Hope you're not all too sore this week.

They've raised an amazing amount, don't think it matters if thru haven't reached their target. I only donated a fiver as I really cant spare that much.

Give it a day or two, BIWI. If the page is staying open, there may well be people who meant to contribute/Mumsnet during the week who could add to that.

You've raised loads, but It's disappointing to see that you haven't achieved your target - is the link right?

I wouldn't even have been able to make it to the Pagoda, let alone been able to raise a camera to photograph it. Well done.

Very well done though, standing.

Are there no bits of you unbroken?

Another Full moon gang checking in...started in wave 6, finished 9.10ish. 7 of us, raised over £2,500 and total still going up :)

It was bloody hard !!! Volunteers on course amazing.

We are all broken

I tell you what might go down a storm though - if there were any spare AIBU T shirts which could be eg auctioned/raffled with proceeds to go to the cause? I reckon those could shift.

It would be pleasant that - but I reckon MNHQ have already matched in blisters.
