Three days to go.....


By Juli

This time in a fortnight we will have done it - one hundred and thirty miles, and hopefully we will be scoffing lots of chocolate and drinking champagne, with our feet up.

There are three days to go and then we will be off.  We are taking the car to Mum's on Thursday and then taking the train to Oxford the next morning, early.  By Friday night we will be in our first B&B.

I have added the itinerary with where we will be and with the names of the people who have said they would like to join us at various places.  Come along too, if you have a chance. We'd love to see you.

And finally - we are 92% of the way to the target.  That's FANTASTIC folks.  You are all so kind and generous.  Big pats on the back and hugs from both of us.
