THREE charity activities have challenged staff at Savills Rural business.

Thousands of miles were covered walking, cycling and canoeing by the estate agent's employees, which have raised £60,000 for Countryside Learning.

As part of the national challenge, a 26-mile walk from Winchester to Salisbury, a 38-mile cycle from Wimborne to Salisbury, a 30-mile cycle from Salisbury to Devizes, a 17-mile walk from Devizes to Marlborough and a 15-mile walk from Marlborough to Inkpen were all completed.

The five-day event finished on September 18, culminating with teams from across the country cycling into London to meet at Savills headquarters in Margaret Street.

David Cross, head of Savills Salisbury, said: “This is the second time we have supported Countryside Learning from a national and local perspective.

"It has been an amazing experience for all who have been involved in walking, cycling, canoeing and all the other activities we have done. Savills contributions to the charity over the past three years have reached nearly 100,000 children."
