What a 'feet' as walkers' total hits £1m
Walkers crossing the Forth Road Bridge raised £40,000 for Christian Aid, bringing the total during the past 35 years to more than £1m.More than 400 supporters braved wet weather for the 35th annual challenge, with some completing the 1.5-mile crossing up to a dozen times. One walker, Mr MacCoull from Palmerston Place Church, raised more than £2450.
The walk was the brainchild of the Rev John Carrie, who arrived as minister of Queensferry Parish Church in 1971. His manse overlooks the Forth Road Bridge.
