The day started early, full of anticipation and excitement. We were assigned our electronic tags and at 10K intervals had to be scanned and meet our support crew. The South Downs provided beautiful scenery and the first 12 hours of walking went smoothly enough with brief rest stops to refuel with food and drink, lovingly […]

Wow, we made it!
I’d like to start out by saying a BIG thank you to our support crew comprised of Jo, Sarah and Andy, there was no ‘four king hell’ of a way that I would have been able to do this without them.  I’d also like to thank Paul for coming up with the […]

We’ll be starting at 8:30am on Saturday, finishing sometime Sunday morning, around 11am - watch our progress and send us instant messages here!

Thanks to a late surge from Alex and Pete, we’ve stormed past £2000 in online donations - including offline donations we’re now at about £2260 which is way beyond what we thought we’d manage. Sincere thanks for everyone who has sponsored us, it’s really appreciated!

Final preparations underway, suddenly starting to seem real…

We’ve now raised over £1500 for Oxfam, still plenty of time to sponsor us though if you haven’t already!
I’ve put together a live tracking page - you’ll be able to see where we are and our state of mind, along with pictures of the team. You’ll also be […]

We’ve lost another team member to a comedy accident - Jo was so eager to place an order for the rare Wii-Fit game that she fell down the stairs did herself a mischief. Enough irony there for an Eiffely Towery
As she’s unable to train and unlikely to heal in time for the walk, […]
