TechMarketView's Forest of Dean Adventure Continues the Future Steps Challenge

Following last week's successful Surrey and London walk for The King's Trust Future Steps Challenge, yesterday was the turn of our Gloucestershire contingent to contribute to the cause.

I had the pleasure of joining Marc and Dale, two of our senior research directors, for a cross-departmental collaboration in the beautiful Forest of Dean, one of England's largest ancient woodlands. After a brief morning shower cleared, the day brightened into a sunny outing through this historic national forest.

The walk came with unexpected challenges! Marc had a boot malfunction just 10 minutes into the journey. When the sole of one boot began detaching, Marc improvised repairs using hair ties and tape. Eventually, he had to continue with just the inner sole. Soon after, his second boot suffered the same fate. Despite this setback, Marc pressed on and completed the entire route - a testament to commitment if ever there was one!

Our team covered an impressive distance of 15km+ with over 20,000 steps each, navigating difficult terrain throughout the day. We returned mid-afternoon, having enjoyed a refreshing break from our usual remote working routines behind computer screens.

With just four days remaining in our fundraising campaign, TechMarketView is currently 19th in the overall ranking table for money raised - a solid performance for a company of our size!

If you'd like to contribute to this worthy cause, we'd really appreciate your support.
