Colourfully-dressed Gwent women power walked their way through the streets of London on Saturday night.

The women, from Blackwood, Cwmfelinfach and Monmouth, took part in the Moon Walk to raise money for breast cancer.

They joined 15,000 others at midnight in Hyde Park to power walk 13 miles around the capital in sequinned bras and leggings.

Janet Brown, from Blackwood, said: "We were absolutely shattered but the experience was wonderful; it was electric."

She said they started training in January after deciding to do the walk before Christmas.

She said: "A friend heard about it last year and we just decided to do it and after Christmas we started training.

"Between us we should have raised about £1,500.

"Yesterday none of us could walk very much but it was a great experience and I don't think it has put us off doing it again."
