EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photo print, we witness the extraordinary arrival of legendary cricketer Ian Botham in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. It was October 1992 when he embarked on his South Coast Walk, a noble endeavor to raise funds for Leukaemia Research. Having walked all the way from Truro, Botham's determination and athleticism were truly awe-inspiring. As he completed this leg of his journey at an impressive average speed of 4.8 mph, the Restormel Lodge Hotel eagerly awaited his arrival. The atmosphere was electric as locals gathered to welcome their beloved sportsman along with the Mayors of Lostwithiel and Restormel. Excited children from nearby schools joined other well-wishers in expressing their admiration for Botham's charitable efforts. The following morning marked another chapter in this remarkable journey as Ian set off from the Community Centre promptly at 8 am. With a staggering distance of 26 miles ahead of him, Torpoint became his next destination. Captured within this photograph is a heartwarming moment between Ian Botham and Restormel Mayor Des Curnow.
