15% to go for next target, come on folks let's get this done.

[Richard (OldStager)]

@Glen_I. Which section of the Grand union canal are you doing this?, half tempted to come and cheer you on if it's not too far south. 

[Glen_I]

We start at Slough and end at Paddington.

 

So it's very much south!

 

 

[Richard (OldStager)]

Ah yes, that's quite, quite South isn't it. Not to worry . 👍

Completely understand and it was a kind thought. 

 

Do you really want to see 8 sweaty blokes walking🤣.

 

[Richard (OldStager)]

😂 Now you put it that way , Nah... 😂

[Richard (OldStager)]

6 Days to go, 91% of current target met.

 

[Richard (OldStager)]

Good luck for tommorrow Glen, let us know how it went 👍

[Glen_I]

Thank you Richard👍

 

I think I'm all set??

 

I'm not the most organised in these situations as in I will turn up on time and do what I need to do but I'm not best prepared so I've got my walking boots, new hiking socks, energy bars and other junk food in the rucksack but more importantly.....bog roll!! I'm a 5 a day kinda man so I figured this could be a pitstop every 5 miles🤣

 

All joking aside I'm looking forward to it and I believe the young lady that this is aimed at wants to walk the 1st mile with us when we set of at 7am which I think will set me of with a tear or two??😥

 

My train leaves my town (Newbury, Berks) at 5:51 and I should arrive at the start point (Slough) at 6:51 (in theory?).

 

I will keep you all updated and thanks again everyone!

 

Ps, Hope your feeling okay Richard?!

 

Heading to bed now for an early night!!

Is that 5 bog rolls a day or..... 😂

 

Best of luck with it, and I will PM you regarding my own stuff.

[Glen_I]

We're go go go! 

 

1st hurdle to overcome is public transport/train. 

 

Our charity T-shirts should be at the start point.

 

Forecast is 26 degrees today!

 

[Glen_I]

We're off!!!

[Glen_I]

A little 'on the go' update.

 

Lily left us after a mile and she looks amazingly well all considering!

 

We've not stopped for anything as yet and still hoping to hit this in one go, just passed a 8 mile to Paddington sign so I think we're doing well.

 

My heels ache and legs are feeling tight but hey ho, it's nothing compared to what some are having to deal with.

 

 

[Glen_I]

So then, that sign above was going via road....the Canal route is longer!!🤣

 

We're are officially now 8 miles away!
