Walkers put their best foot forward in a 15k sponsored walk - despite the changing weather.
More than 100 people took part in the 17th annual Crocus Walk on Saturday raising more than £5,500 for Breast Cancer Now.
The event from Walmer to St Margarets at Cliffe is traditionally held each spring.
However this year's event saw weathers suitable for all seasons, with wind, snow, hail and sunshine all making an appearance.
Organiser and charity ambassador Kerry Banks BEM said: "We had it all, even snow, however it did not deter our walkers.
"People came from far and wide including Milton Keynes, London and Essex to take part.
"Our youngest walker was nine years old and our very glamorous eldest walker was a sprightly 76.
"We had people walking who were going through treatment, survivors and people walking in memory of someone.
"This could not be possible without the truly wonderful support of volunteers and marshalls that make the day run smoothly and sponsors who have supplied the venue and highest fundraiser prize.
"A huge thank you to each and every one of you. You smashed it!"
Special thanks has been given to Samantha and Stuart Jaenicke at the FirstLight cafe for supplying hot rolls and juice to participants, and sponsor Claire Blaszinski of The Whitehouse for supplying a pamper package to the highest fundraiser.
Mentions are also given to Simon Banks, Ivan Rubins, Mollie Brown, Josh Brown, Jo Allen, Daisy Axtell-Powell, Absolute Fitness with CJ for the wacky warm up, Pauline Dawson, Sophie Johnson, Stan and Jane Baker, Linda Clery, Andrew and Jane Banks, those from Deal Community Carnival Association, Nicola Handley, Cara Goodwin, Kerys Georgia, Jasmin Lynch, Louise from Breast Cancer Now and Smye Rumsby.
