    What a first day it was in our three-legged challenge for BBC Children in Need!

    Although we had to navigate some very muddy and slippy patches, we were treated to some absolutely stunning views walking from Reading to Shiplake on the Thames Path.

    I was surprised at how quickly we became "in sync" with one another.

    We definitely couldn't have done this without the advice of Gary Shaughnessy from Tadley.

    Alongside his friend Andy, he holds the world record for the longest distance run in a three-legged race in 24 hours.

    He gave us some brilliant top tips ahead of the challenge - like always making sure someone is in charge of counting down before you start walking.

    This definitely stopped us from falling over a couple of times!

    For some of the walk, our only company was a field of sheep.

    But it was so lovely walking past members of the public who gave us a friendly wave or a message of support.

    My right hip and left knee are aching - but I'm really excited to get back to it for day two.
