This Friday, twelve members of the Black Knights Drum & Bugle Corps will be setting off on a three day, 82 mile (132 km) sponsored walk to raise funds for the Black Knights Performing Arts Group.

Each day the members will walk 27.3 miles (44 km), the equivalent of a marathon, starting from their HQ in Northfleet, Kent on the Friday and finishing at Eastbourne, East Sussex on Sunday evening. The route taken will be the historic Weald Walkway through Kent and East Sussex and the group will spend the evenings camping enroute.

Funds raised during the event will go towards improving facilities and equipment for the cadet section of Black Knights. If you would like to support the members on their three day walk by sponsoring a small amount then this can be done via their Just Giving charity page www.justgiving.com/blackknightsuk.
