STRIDING out into the elements, adults and children braved the cold to raise money for people in the developing world.
More than 40 supporters of the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD) braved the wintry weather to walk through Hanningfield Reservoir Nature Reserve near Billericay and raise more than £100 in the process.
Children enjoyed a treasure trail and formed a giant human 'IF' as part of the Enough Food For Everyone IF campaign after the event on Friday.
Diocesan manager Joanna Jarvis said: "Despite the cold we were delighted that so many people turned up to support our walk and enjoy Hanningfield Reservoir, which is such a beautiful place to spend a few hours."
Supporters came from the surrounding areas including Chelmsford, Billericay, Brentwood and Basildon. They also travelled from slightly further afield from Woodford, Loughton and Ilford.
