The walk the just didn't happen





Well that didn't go very well. Got up early and had a good breakfast. Got pictures of Mark P in his best frock and leopard skin high heels and were on the road at just after 8 am. Unfortunatley it was all over 3 hours later. Just short of Uttoxeter and our 'pie and pint' break, Mark P slippend and it looks like he tore the ligaments in his left knee. (MRI scan today). The air ambulance came to the rescue, and then didn't. Mark wasn't dying and so they flew off again and we gat a ride in a car. 4 hours in Stafford hospital and then straight to the pub. Many thanks to K.D. Executive Travel for coming all the way to Stafford to pick us up and take us back to Scholar Green.

When he is fit again we will complete the walk but in the meatime thanks to everybody who sponsored us. We have raised over £500 so far. Thank you all

March at last - what does one do until the Summer. Well I've decided to 'Do simething funny for money'. With my friend Mark, I am going to walk from Great Haywood (nr Stafford) to Mow Cop (Nr Congleton) along the Staffordshire Way. I reckon that it's about 50 miles in all. We will start on Friday 13th morning and walk to Alton. On Saturday we will walk from Alton to Rushton Spencer and then on the Sunday from Rushton Spencer to Mow Cop (well, actually we'll be going to the Rising Sun pub in Scholar Green for a couple of beers and to watch England beat France in the Six Nations). If anybody would like to sponsor us please log onto www.justgiving.com/markandmarkgowalking and follow the instructions. Or, you can pop into the shop and fill in the sponsorship form.
