|
|
I participated in the Wycombe Wander Midnight Walk last night. Was a 12.5 mile walk to raise money for South Bucks Hospice & Scanappeal. Was quite a tough walk as we had a few hills to walk up & down but I thorougly enjoyed it.
Just thought I would share this with you all  _________________ Some people are like Slinkies .....Not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Was a bloody long walk and I soon felt it towards the end. Was worth it though  _________________ Some people are like Slinkies .....Not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Grats!
I've always wanted to do the Lyke Wake Walk
http://www.lykewake.org/route.php
40 mile hike over Yorkshire Hills in the dead of night. Awesome fun
So how about that for next year?
I read the very last passage :

More details on how to buy these on our things to buy page.
|
And when I read the CD bit my brain automatically told me that the people who have just done the walk will now have it 'on cool down'. _________________ I should update my sig. What to put here for $CurrentYear ? |

Blimey 12.5 miles was hard enough... _________________ Some people are like Slinkies .....Not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

One walk I want to do is the 'Coast-to-coast' walk:
When I went up to North Yorks last month, there were loads of people doing it - it looked like a lot of fun! _________________ Helen, the Administratrix of www.area51newmexico.com

I like the looks of the pub walk. The peak district looked especially yummy - 6 days 51 pubs. That's almost 9 per day  _________________
