This is the last ever Schindler’s Shuffle. After 18 years, and hitting the 200th walk I thought it would be a good time to finish the one month regularity. Obviously I will not stop walking and will continue to organize walks on a less regular basis.
On a personal note I’ve thoroughly enjoyed organizing the walks and have met a lot of lovely people and made many new friends. The Shuffle is not dead, just resting.”
Geoff Scott
A big thank you to Geoff Scott for all the time and effort he has put in to organising these walks over the past 18 years
