First Post re Charity Walk around Britain 2009

Having failed to find sufficient sponsorship and donations to make the 2008 WALK possible, I'm now planning to do it in 2009.

I'm trying to secure a place in the 2009 London Marathon as part of a charity team (very difficult because places are restricted).

I'm hoping that most of those who have offered free parking/camping sites for 2008 will be equally generous for my 2009 venture.

The columns are town, mileage, whether confirmed (****),date.


**** denotes confirmed sites (the dates are the nights of . . . . .)
