Walking or running thousands of laps around the grounds of the retirement village, residents and staff together covered a total of 899 miles.
The aim of the challenge was to get fit and raise money for the NHS.

Ian Fairbairn, one of the resident walkers said: “One of the routes included walking around the Sky Deck, and it certainly helped with motivation to have such amazing views of Windsor Castle!”
