| Quote BaldRick="BaldRick"Thankyou for the good wishes . I think I know which LS12 school sang at that game . (see PM ) . If it is that school then that is where Mrs BR is doing her TA course .
Back on track and a bump . I have been advised that the best footwear for long road walks are soft construction comfortable trainers . Preferably cheap ones as they tend to have more 'give' in them , but to take two different sizes . Eg : size nine in the morning , and size ten for late afternoon/evening . Apparently it is the best way to avoid blisters as your feet grow/swell with the constant pounding . Anyone able to confirm that ?'"
Might be an idea to go somewhere like up and running. I do alot of running and always go there. They put you on the treadmill and measure your gait to match it to the best possible shoe to limit impact on your feet joints. I know the sell all sorts of off road, running and walking shoes and they are quite knowledgeable and could give you some good advice. Also sell lots of anti blister socks etc.
I have done stuff before for charity and they sometimes will donate some gear to you if you. Worth a shot anyway. |

Come on boys and girls , you know you want to . James is undertaking quite a task , and that alone deserves our respect and support . If you can't see your way to doing it for the Bulls , then do it for James . |

Couldnt have put it better. Also if "Highbury Rhino" is on here could he/she please identify themself? I'd love to profusely thank them for the £50 donation.
That we're all coming together for this is excactly what makes our game so great. Many thanks
James and Andy |

Done.
BaldRick, only wear cheap trainers for this if you want to need the wheelchair yourself at the end of it.
I would opt for some sort of decent approach shoe. Merrells are generally a good option, but get something that suits the shape of your feet - New Balance and Asics also both do some very good walking trainers. You want something with plenty of cushioning since it'll all be on hard surfaces.
Sock-wise, somebody bought me a couple of pairs of these a few years ago and they are now the sock of choice for anything I do over about 10-12 miles:

Now that is exactly how I was convinced (by Mrs BR ) that I should help .
I see this thing as being more about helping and supporting James than helping the Bulls . This really is going to be a huge event in James' life . It is certainly not something I will ever forget .
I actually feel honoured that I am being allowed to take part in his big adventure .
Any volunteers to shove a wheelchair on the Leeds stretch of the walk will be welcomed . |
