They invited John Mann, MP for Bassetlaw to meet them when reached their target and he was delighted to join them at Retford war memorial. John was very pleased to congratulate them on their commitment and hard work and said "Both Luke and Christopher set themselves a big task but their sponsored walk was made even more difficult due to the arduous snowy conditions.
