I've been delighted by how well a lot of my appeals have been recieved, so I'll make a somewhat heartfelt one. Could any Bulls fans with access to transport (we're not asking you to walk) come see James off from Whitley Bay town centre on May 19? sounds a huge ask I know but when we know what James and indeed BaldRick are doing I'm not sure it is. When we get to West Yorks we know the support will come flooding in. For now though we need to make this as big as possible, in an area where very few even know who we are.

Cheers,
Andy

I underestimated how difficult it is going to be . Am used to being on my feet all day , but that is no help at all . you would be shocked at where you get sores when you strap a rucksack to your back with three gallons of water in it and go for a VERY long walk . Can barely walk downhill atm . Uphill is easy . And for some reason my ass cheeks are sore . ( no i didn't get bummed as i walked through the woods before you ask lol ). I did get shot at by some very nice person with an air-rifle . Think they were trying to knock my orange hat off .

Have you tried those walking poles? They helped me do the three peaks, especially the downhill bits when I had cramp.

Pages 8 and 9 in the latest Forty-20 magazine . A rather large article giving a brief history of James and Andy .

Think this can be cut adrift now .

Had a call today from a lady involved with the housing project that James Olsen lives in . I explained the situation , and she said she is going to have a word with his mum and get things rolling regarding refunds .
