Celebrating Charles Frost
Jordan's Mill In Biggleswade was the venue for celebrating the life of our great founder, Charles. Around 70 people gathered at the Mill with 30 or so of us heading off for a walk to The Hare and Hounds pub in Old Warden. A lovely pint or 2 were consumed before we headed back to base to complete the 8.5 mile round trip.
It was great for the Pedallers to meet Charles's friends and family, some of whom had travelled from Europe and Colombia. We shared stories and there are SO many stories of a man that was a great explorer and risk taker!
The pub walkers were thirsty and hungry so the drinks and fabulous food were very welcome. There were emotional speeches from Lex his son and then from Richard, Bill and Humphry his friends. Some great tributes to a worthy man.
There were more opportunities to meet and chat with Charles's friends and family before the 70 strong crowd headed off home. Simply an amazing day. The rain tried to force it's way through the clouds but Charles wasn't having it! He kept things dry and there was no doubt he was looking down and enjoying what would have been a favourite day of his. A long walk, the great outdoors, a pub, a beer or three, a BBQ and a paella.
Huge thanks go to Bill and Charles's sons for organising this amazing event. The Pedallers loved being there and remembering our much loved friend.
