I'm sure if you sorted her out with an EN471 Class 2 hi-vis bra, you'd spot her OK. However, that could mess up your photos unless you allow for the high reflectance!

Thanks again everyone.

Joy started off from Hyde Park at midnight last night and completed the "half-moon" (half-marathon walk) at about 4:30 am. She did brilliantly!
We got back to my sister-in-law's house about 6am to crash out for a while and came home this afternoon.

As promised, pictures will follow - though I don't have many that are much good (too far away to use a flash and without flash the exposure was too long and the walkers were blurred).

Very many thanks to those that supported with their encouraging messages and their kind sponsorship. With the online sponsorship plus other sponsor forms etc, we're fairly sure she'll have raised over £1,000 for the charity :smt001

Excellent news mate. I've still to come and see you. I hope sponsorship/donations are not closed.
