(Just to add, I hope I have everyone's names right, went from memory on most)!!!

Excellent work, Radders. You do realise that you will incur the wrath of my daughter by not listing her time as 12:24:55, don't you?!

[GarySTFC]

Radders, pics received with thanks. Will get them up on the site along with a summary of events from the day.

that canal route was never 13 miles lol!!!

[HorshamRebel]

My stepometer had nearly 30,000 on it. Someone has told me that's about 17 to 18 miles, depending on step length.

[A Rebel and a Saint]

pretty sure chris s said it was 15-17 miles.

probably wouldnt have been so bad if it wasnt just 2 continuous towpaths for about 4 hrs of the journey!!!

[HorshamRebel]

and our trip around the housing estate !

[A Rebel and a Saint]

with the locals who barely knew that there was a football ground near by! at least we did manage to pick the right road though, couldve been worse!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

[HorshamRebel]

Indeed.

[Ian]

I'm sure it was a very scenic route but I'll stick to road routes which can be measured with a high degree of accuracy, thanks very much!!

[HorshamRebel]

That was one of the worst bits of the canal route. Not much of an idea of how much further left to go.

[Ian]

We found on the walk last year that long straight roads with no landmarks are terrible. On the Friday of last years walk, we only travelled on three different roads for a total of about 21 miles and that was having walked 27 the day before! I have no idea how we did it.

with extreme difficulty and much swearing

Speak for yourself!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Having won the bryco cup the night before helped. Would have been pretty demotivated if Lewington, Fontana and co had lifted the cup

Oi Oi This was not a race...and does not allow us for 2 wee breaks plus a visit to the fish and chip shop ! and walking an extra 3 miles ! so with this handicap allowance I arrived at 12 noon ...beat the lot of you ! lol.... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

[GarySTFC]

Rumour has it you always come first Chris so I don't dispute you did!

hi all dave here.

just to let late comers know there has been a masive overhead cable prob in ealing slough area trains running up to 60+ late and defenet delays at least residule delays prob until tommrow while they check prob. i hope nobody delayed coming home and no probs to people as i know some rebel fans travel by train most days from work and perhaps are used to fgw delays like me anyway.

 

i was lucky i did not go to reading today as would no dout be heaverly delayed coming home.

 

i was going to talk to my friend who looks after me on a helpline at the office when need help and news of events. in reading she works for berksire autistic society. spoke to her coleague on the phone she appeared rather busy with paperwork and the like. i asked rhos last week if she had time to support slough on are last game at home to heybridge at £7 what a bargain for her.

 

rhos supports reading and feel it would me no harm asking her if she wanted to come to some home games sofar not but proberbly will come if spare time also next season.

 

take care all dave programes <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/affig.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/alert.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/alert.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/argue.gif" alt="" />
