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!

I guess there are some sore legs and feet by now. Hope all went well.

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

Congrats to Joy.
At a grand for 13 miles she's approaching binman rates.

Where ever I lay my hat.....

Excellent news mate. I've still to come and see you. I hope sponsorship/donations are not closed.
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.
