A group of supporters from London Wasps, Leicester's arch rivals and opponents this weekend, set off on a sponsored walk from High Wycombe to Welford Road on Tuesday ahead of the Guinness Premiership clash between the two sides this Saturday.
The walk is in aid of the Matt Hampson Trust and is another perfect example of the spirit of our sport.
Led by Barney Burnham, arguably one of the biggest Wasps fans around, the group left Adams Park bright and early and will be stopping off at a different rugby club each night, before arriving in time for this weekend's game.

Friday night sees the walkers arrive at Lutterworth Rugby Club, where a fun-packed evening for all the family is planned. Proceedings kick-off around 6.30pm and all are welcome. For more details, keep your eyes on this website.
Matt said of the walkers, "I know Barney well and, again, it just shows how close the rugby community is. I really appreciate the efforts of the guys on the walk and look forward to meeting them for a drink on friday night''.
