Are you walking the whole way?
I'm going to jogging as much of it as is possible, with walking breaks
But will definatly walk along with you if I find you.
My main concern is that with the weather much of what would have been runnable is now swimmable!
Sob.
SWIM?????????????????
Yes caspar, i will be walking
In my walking boots which havent had an outing since the ill fated trailwalker a year ago
I MUST NOT run
cos of next week
Is this event not ominous enough?
I'm carrying everything from some lucky heather I got from a gipsy, a rabbit foot in my pocket and horse shoe in my back pack!
this is of course assuming we all make it to the end and dont get waylaid by a ghost of the dead on the way.
i have been practicing my magical charms to keep them at bay,and if that doesnt work I'll have a pair of old socks in my rucsac!
oh poo
i cant
Its in the other house
caspar
these boots are very good brasher ones
they cant be unlucky
Not such a lucky rock after all then!
we are still betwwen houses
caspar
Its bad enough without you bringing the supernatural into it!
Bryan has gone oddly silent
i now have 2 maps and a compass
we will be stuffed if there is no sun
Actually I think Bryan meant there was just a problem near where that mine was.
It'll be alright the rest of the way.
If we think positive thoughts I'm sure we can conjure up some half decent weather.
Bring the rabbits foot to be on the safe side!
42 miles is a big unknown though - my legs had had enough at 26
BEST OF LUCK EVERYONE, I'll be thinking of you all. I look forward (sort of) to hearing all about it very soon.

Sluggie - 8, start time 4 am
Very brave and sterling peeps, all!
hope i dont get lost
hope i wake up in time for a short plod tomorrow
cant sleep
Serious bit coming up
But thats in an urban setting
And getting lost in stokieland is a bit different to doing the same on the NOrth York Moors
Having walked these babies as a youngster, I have the utmost respect for them
Now, I entered this in the assumption that I would be walking with someone-now that this isnt the case, Im getting SERIOUSLY cold feet.
My navigation isnt th best, I just havent had to do it for years, and ive certainly never had to do it on my own!
Before anyone mentions Trailwalker--there were dirty great yellow signs en route for most of it, and you could always see other people
I am extremely worried
probably need to buy torch and whistle
and distress flares
and tins of gin
off to clinic now
then hare up to York
Dads giving me a lift to ozzie from there, so hope to make it around 7-depends what time i get out of clinic
mobile is07711614957 if anyone fancies a meet up in a hostelry
otherwise ill sit in me room and study the route
se ya tomorrow
