STOP PRESS!!!

Tomorrow's the big day - the start of our 177 mile adventure and the Lutterworth Mail have come up trumps and run a half page story about us in today's paper - let's hope it generates some more sponsorship through the blogspot. The more eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed that they did get the dates a bit mixed up - they reported us as starting the walk on 29th May instead of finishing, but hey...any publicity is good publicity.

Well, we're all ready to go - our rucksack's are packed - Simon's weighed in at 17 kilo's, 3 kilo's lighter than Russ and Richard's - yeah right!!....it obviously didn't have any grub in it Si!!

As I mentioned yesterday, we're off to the pub at around 9ish tonight if anyone fancies joining us for a farewell pint and then up at about 5am tomorrow to pull the boots on and get on our way.

Thanks again to all who have sponsored us - if you haven't done so already, it's not too late - simply click on sponsorship page and away you go - you don't need to pass on any bank details, just tell us how much you'd like to pledge and we'll be in touch when we get back. It really is for an incredibly worthwhile local cause - the old folks of Lutterworth and surrounding areas.

Tomorrow's blog should come directly from the walk itself, so don't forget to check in on us every evening if you get the chance. Thanks for looking.
