I'm a very poor swimmer, never really learned and 10m is about my limit. I suppose it's something I can work on for next year but the Tyne might be a bit much, I'm no David Walliams!
Give it a try and if you should end up floating out to sea on your back, never to be seen again I'll put £100.00 in the pot towards the burial costs and £100 the following year in your memory.
We'll have a whip round and get you some water wings and a snorkel, you'll be good to go! Hope you're not suffering too much with your feet.
£100?! That will never build a bronze statue in my likeness! On that basis, I refuse to sacrifice myself to the great Neptune.
In Darlington now, feels so good knowing there's only two more days of walking to go. Toon match not being on a proper channel is a bit of a let down as it means I'm going to miss it, though I'll certainly be following the live commentary updates. A poor substitute but a match all the same, Hearts v Liverpool is what'll be on my tellybox this evening. At first I was tempted to root for the underdogs but I think I'd actually prefer Hearts to win...
What time do you reckon you'll be in Bishop Auckland (or around there) tomorrow? I've got a few things to do or I'd have walked it with you, but I'll try and track you down and throw a few bob into the buckets if I can.
Just leaving Spennymoor now, final leg covering Durham tomorrow, then I can get back to being a lazy ****e.
Hope the weather is ok for you tomorrow, great achievement, bet you're not sorry this week is over. Very well done!
Alright man, I was out in the car and looked for you but must have just missed you...Anyway, donated online, good luck reaching your target!
