Lewis and I have done it! It wasn't as painful as we expected and we were very lucky to have a lovely day. It was sunny and warm and slightly painful! My arse came off worse closely followed by my thigh muscles but all in all we got through it very well and ahead of schedule all the way through the various stages. We stopped about 4 times with the biggest break being at Claines church where we sat and ate our sandwiches in the churchyard. Gilda met us there with supplies of water and grub! It was great except evey time we rang Gilda to tell her where we would be for lunch she was either on the phone yapping to someone or in the shower! Never mind we got her eventually and it didn't take her long to come out! Near the end Lewis and I decided we would finish at the Rose and Crown Pub about 1 mile from home so we rang Gilda to let her know and so she could tell others. Could we get her - NO. In the end we left a message about 1 hr away from landing. When we arrived at the pub we looked everywhere but there was no sign of anyone that we knew! Bit of a letdown really! Anyway we rang her and she came out with Marina and John which was nice.
We are very proud of ourselves and have raised more than £1200 for the BHF! Not bad for an old bloke hey?
