There's a lot to organise and not enough time. I've opened a page on justgiving.co.uk (www.justgiving.co.uk/billhoneywell) but it needs padding out with some detail, and I'm working on the text of emails and other begging letters. I need to sort out links from the company web site and basically get the publicity machine in gear.
I've worked out a draft schedule for the walk, starting with an easy round on Day 1 - March 9th - and finishing at Elterwater where I hope a few friends might join up for a few beers in the Britannia. There are plenty of days off for recuperation at home, and I'm making a lot of use of accommodation provided by friends in Bowness and Cockermouth. For the Scafell / Great Gable / Wastwater area I might treat myself to a few nights at the Wasdale Head.
Before I go I've got to finish tiling the bathroom and decorating the bedroom, but I also need to keep in shape, so this afternoon I might drive over to Ingleton and nip up Ingleborough just to make sure all my bits are working the way they should be!
Hi Bill,
ReplyDeleteGood to see you are still going well and getting a good run of fine weather. Nice photos. I think it would be easier by bike. We went to Wycoller on Wednesday and did about two mile on rough tracks on our touring bikes. I rode it but the other wimps walked it. I am doing the Cheshire Cat on the 29th from Knutsford, 102 miles into Staffordshire and Derbyshire including Mow Cop at 1 in 4. I still think it is easier than all the walking you are doing. You are a hero.
Best wishes for rest of walk, Richard D
Thanks for that Richard. I saw the Cheshire Cat and would have liked to have done it with you. In fact, I'm in Cheshire having a weekend off including the 29th, but there is no chance whatsoever of getting board approval for that. Thank goodness!
