And They're Off!!!!!!

I packed my bag and in it I put just enough meagre bits and pieces to survive a week without sinking too far beyonds the depths of decency. I unpacked my bag and started again because I could barely pick it up! I have now sunk way beyond the depths of decency and hope I don't meet anyone I know along the way.

This is it - the moment all those miles of training have been for. We're about to leave for the start of the longest walk in the world and wouldn't you know it - it's raining!

Thanks for the sponsorship and thanks for all the messages of support - it's an enormous help to know that you're all "coming with me". I'll try to post at the end of each day but I can't guarantee it - might not have internet access/might not have energy! I will be recording an interview for Radio Oxford on Wednesday morning and that should go out after 1pm that afternoon so tune in if you can.

All that's left to say is LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD.

Hang on a sec, I've forgotten my lippy............................
