Hmmm, I've just been plotting the route in order to get a custom OS map on their website. Took me almost an hour and a half to get all the way points down, It's starting to dawn on me just what I've let myself in for.

Just back from a 16km/10.5mile walk, Aside from some mild arse chaffing I'm still feeling pretty good, Much more so than yesterday when I was trying looking over the maps of the 80 mile route.

When are you doing the walk pal?

I'm currently on a tight budget because I'm only part time at work so I'll donate once I'm full time again.

Awesome pal.

As I said once I sort my shit out with work and that I'll donate a bit to the cause.

Thanks mate.

My misses seems to reckon doing the Ivanhoe way in a single day is a good idea for training for the 80 miler, This is a 37 mile trail around the towns and villages of North-West Leicestershire. Even though we're doing 80 miles in June 37 still sounds a lot for one day, at least the 80 is split over a few days.
The record time for the route is 9 and 1/4 hours.

On the plus side we don't have to go anywhere special to start as it passes through Donisthorpe where we live.

Of course, Pubs are the only businesses that do well in this nick of the woods. My village has no shops aside from four pubs and a hairdressers that is never open. (The hairdresser is obviously a cover for a meth lab)

I've just opened up the local newsletter and low and behold we are in it! They have gone to minimal effort, just rehashing my email to the asking for money but still, any publicity is good.

Breaking news...villager discovered with two Asian hookers and unconscious goat in pub toilet.

In other news; Gelert camping equipment has donated a bunch of equipment to us for the walk, waterproof clothing, rucksacks, fleeces, gloves, torches etc. I can't believe how generous some places have been to be honest.

My left knee which I had reconstructive surgery on last August after tearing some ligaments is all swelled up and quite painful today. I haven't had any problems since about October-November so I'm quite worried about it. I'm going to take it easy for a few days in case I've just been pushing myself too hard with all this training.

I would be truly devastated if anything kept me from doing the walk though, Kayla would have to do it alone as we've already been given so much money by people which I would hate for numerous reason, not least that she would be an epileptic wandering through the Dales alone.

We're going to be on the local radio station later this week to publicise the event and hopefully encourage some more donations.

How's the knee?

How's the knee?

Well it's ok at the moment but I'm still getting the odd twinge. Nothing I can't live with though. I think I will invest in a high quality knee brace for a bit of extra support.

You should see a doctor or physio about it man.

Artical from the Burton Mail. - Couple to trek across dales after finding wonder drug


That headline makes it sound like you two had some drug crazed "Fear and Loathing in Yorkshire" experience...

Good to see you guys are getting the word out though, what are you up to know you've cleared £500?

Ugh, our trainings come to a bit of a standstill in the last few weeks with Kayla having to work virtually all day everyday. I just can't find the motivation to go and wonder the countryside alone.

Need t get it going again though, There's only two and a half months left.
Deleted Account #151676
After several big distractions in the past few weeks we need to kick start our training again so we're off to a military boot camp today, this is probably where we realise how horribly out of shape and under prepared we both are.
