Well thats it, no way out now. the Rucksack is packed absolutely to the brim, it weighs 16kg which in other words is a chuffin lot and I shall be leaving shortly. I'm quite nervous really which has surprised me but then the fact that I know the next 9 days are going to be really hard work is the reason.
the sponsorship has gone really well with over £3500 to date which when the gift aid is added on means I shall raise over £4k... all I have to do now is get round. Thanks to everyone that has contributed it means so much to me to be able to help Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Anyway assuming the technology works the next posting will be after the end of day from a tent high on the North York Moors. Waheeeyy!!
About Me
- johntmatlock
- I'm 48, carrying a shed load of weight and married to Cheryl in no particular order of relevence. I have two boys Josh & Sam and a stepdaughter Bekah. All three are teenagers which makes life "interesting". The picture on the profile is of me on the edge of Ennerdale If you have read any of my blog you may have guessed by now I am seriously on the sad and illegitimate side of the coin. I follow Notts County (see its getting sadder) which is where I met Cheryl (much sadder)and we are frequently off round the country to watch them, spend huge amounts of money and generally make ourselves miserable. I also spend a lot of time refereeing (ultimate sad) football on various parks and grounds across Derbyshire. Cheryl lovingly (I think) refers to me as a vision in black nylon. We also support a reduced and ailing menagerie now only comprising two dogs. Home is just outside Matlock in a wonderful part of the country.
