I'll Finish the Pennine Way This Time

Sadly, and painfully, I had to pull out of the Pennine Way 'adventure' last year due to shin splints contracted on day 14. So my three tough buddies, John Baldwin, John 'Dixey' Dixon and Joe Grun went to the end with me going on each day with the baggage. "Fitting", you might say.

Now, thanks to their support, I shall finish it in June and in their company.

All is organised, logistics, accommodation, the lot. Just hope the weather is as good as it was last year and not like the days of torrential rain we experienced on the Coast to Coast in 2006.

In total, we've raised approaching £5,000 for Parkinson's Research. Many thanks to all our sponsors whose generosity will go toward finding out what causes this terrible affliction and what can be done to help those who have it.
