Blog - Day 3

2 May 2007 (PM)

Another 18 miles completed and more donations collected on the way. Nice one wales! Mostly flat today which has been good on one hand but also means everyone is now suffering very sore feet from promenade plodding.

Mark and shaun h are leading the race for best injury. Despite that though spirits remain high.

A big hill ............................................. Mark's feet ................. the end of another tough day!

Tonights accommodation is a b&b combined with a curry house and a pub. If it just did lap dancing too it would probably be the best charity walk b&b in the world.
Anyway we have spent all day discussing which curry's we will be having. Shaun h has been told nothing spicier than a korma given his disgraceful emissions over the last few days.

Tomorrow is possibly the easiest day - we broke the 50 mile barrier today which at least raised a muted cheer - 2 days to offa's dyke - help!

Dressed in red again, which was daring after yesterdays Bull incident, we set off... after lengthy medical preparation. Immediately into a sharp incline the route settled into a coastal path which the team needed after yesterdays mountaineering! We were soon at the Great Orme, Llandudno and little Orme negotiated, we eventually finished in Llandulus having gone through the 50 mile barrier! The welsh people did us proud today with cars beeping horns, even stopping to donate and more donations from passers by. The hot sun is definately taking its toll with Shaun K walkin into a bush whilst txting and Shaun H talking to his dog on the phone!..No you've read it right! His dog daisy obviously giving him tips on walking! We are now in the unlikely combination of a guest house/indian restaurant!!... Looking forward to a night which promises to be a sketch from Fools & Horses!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Slightly blurry this morning after watching the football - what a game, what a result!

today offers more hills and another 16 miles. What joy ... The highlight is the great orme which looks impressive but does add a 'completely unnecessary' 6 miles to our journey in mark's eyes. We'll follow the designated route though, despite mark's comment yesterday that 'there is no official route - just some lunatic with a green pen'

without order there is chaos mark, FOLLOW THE GREEN LINE :-)

The team reach Conwy but the two Shaun's find the locals too quick to catch! 

Red is the theme here...We all wore red Claire House t-shirts to the pub to watch the mighty reds reach the Champions League final! Fantastic! T shirts perfectly matched our burnt red faces! We've now decided to walk to Athens, Nige is buying maps today! Greek theme developing too, as both Nige + Stoke Shaun spent the night in bed with another man...! Chaffing will be a big red issue this morning!.... with sales of Vaseline + E45 unprecedented in North Wales! Feet are also very red, sore and blistered! Going to be another tough day in the heat, but the team have hope in their hearts and will Walk On!....
