Quote BaldRick="BaldRick"One of ours is now none of ours .
I did what I was able . I had quite a few things sorted for arrival and travel through the Leeds postcodes . But I feel that due to the lack of response from others involved it is time for me to withdraw my participation in this event .I have been shot at , bitten , and even knocked over by a car on my travels while preparing . I don't know wether there is a problem oop north , and I do so hope there isn't , but it has been left too long with no contact . I have walked myself into the ground preparing for the challenge , and made numerous attempts at contact to no avail . It has been left too late in the day for me to gather in sponsorship apart from family and close friends (any monies already given to me will be returned) . I have spent a small fortune on equipment required to participate in such an event , and I will use said items (and my new ability to walk for miles and miles) in the near future for the benefit of any charity that is deemed worthy by your goodselves the posters on Southstander.com . No point in letting it all go to waste is there , so get thinking and suggest a good cause for me to walk for .
If the james2odsal walk does go ahead then I wish James and Andy all the best of luck on their adventure .
Now I am going to have a long sit down , crack open a beer , rest my weary feet , and get my mangled leg sorted out .

Not good news hope everyone is ok, fair play for even volunteering your services and putting in the training.
Charity I always do runs for and try and support is Martin house children's hospice. Have visited on several occasions and it's a very worthwhile cause. Another charity I like is Yorkshire kidney research (patron our very own sir kev) were a brilliant help and support when we needed them.
How far are you going to go, provided it fits in with work, have very little holiday left, would be happy to join in on the walk
