Off Topic Selfie Sticks!

I’m hoping to do the Cleveland Way in a month or so , I might take one too ! Mind you I’ll probably trip up and fall down a cliff near Staithes !

Probably me too. I fell on snowdon once and smashed my mobile. It's soooook inconvenient breaking a phone and waiting for a replacement.

I also had this stupid idea last night where I thought i would take a city shirt for a picture at the finish line...went looking for the black out kit shirt the wife bought me (not that I agree with fat 40yr olds wearing sports kit...but had to have one as it's awesome). It was a Large and has never fit me and was still in the packaging.

Anyhow, given i have lost a couple of stone in preparation, I thought "now is the time big lad".....nope, still a fat **** and won't be taking it.

Gave it to the wife and said you may as well have it for PJs. It's never gonna happen.
 
I fly early friday (28th) and aim to be back no later than 27th April. So gonna be tight, and probably won't get any rest days sadly. God knows how I swung it with the wife.

Doing it on my lonesome.

P.s. let me know how the portugese is. Maybe next year for me!
She’ll be fine mate she’s text me already
She in good hands
Just gonna use the alberques (hostels) and go with the flow!

You should do it. It's been a year or more in the making for me. Psyched up for it now though. Glad to get away and reset everything.
We thought of that but with my snoring think I’d get killed by my bunk mates
Got hotels and a few air bnb’s instead

When you get to Santander, will you get me a few quid out of the hole in the wall? :emoticon-0148-yes:

1st time in Santander the place not the bank just got off the boat and like hull the way out takes you though the town. Stopped at the first set of traffic lights with a couple of other bikers and a rat as big as a cat casually wandered across the road in front of us. Welcome to sunny Spain.

Their football club's so laid back now - their club's nickname used to be "Rat Racing Santander"
