I have edited the team page as per your request Sorry it must have slipped my mind when you asked some time ago Chris
I thought I knew most places in Yorkshire, but have learned a lot of new ones! (new to me that is).
Also, came across some amazing names of people I have never heard before 🙂

On behalf of all the England Project Leaders, we wish you a peaceful, productive and enjoyable 2024!

Kind regards, John
Thank you for joining our project. We are pleased that you decided to join us and hope that you find the Orphan Trail rewarding.
The England Project Leaders like to touch base with each of our members periodically to make sure everything is going well. This is our formal annual check-in and we are interested in your perspective as a Trailer, whether you are still waiting to be buddied up with a Trailblazer, on the road to completing the Orphan Trail, or taking a short break.
We would be interested to hear whether you're finding the explanations and guidance in the Orphan Trail pages useful. No more than a couple of sentences would be enough. We are always looking to improve and feedback plays an important part.
I look forward to hearing from you. Please respond by posting a reply below or sending me a private message.
On behalf of all the Leaders, thank you again. We look forward to your completion of the Orphan Trail and your continued involvement in our collaborative and fun Project!
Kind regards,
Elizabeth, England Project Leader
