I'M BACK. !!!!!!! :D What was that "Have you been away?" :wink:

.......and no Kevin, I haven't been topping up the Des O'Connor tan, owing to being in the closet Morris dancing :evil: :wink:

Well, its been a long time so firstly my apologies, Happy Christmas, and a Happy New Year :oops: , and just in case, Happy Easter!!!!! :wink:

Right, The LEO.

Although I have some ideas, before making a definite plan I would like to ask firstly, are there any more takers? and secondly are there any 'possibles' that can now be classed as 'definites'?

On the first trip we split up after the show on Orkney and made our separate ways home on different ferries - though I just happened to run across Neil and Stephanie at a petrol station a couple of days later!

I'm waiting to hear whether Griff is doing a joust at the Tower again this summer.... if he is then it counts me out of the LEO :-? unless I just tag along for part of the way for moral support :) Will post as soon as I know; hopefully within a month....... sorry I can't be more definite, Bill :-?

I have some experience of planning events in another world and i can second the need for planning well in advance and today is as good a time to start as any,so why not. I have to book summer holidays by the end of jan or i will miss the boat.
I cant do the whole trip but would love to do a portion of it to show some solidarity. Is this what you meant by printing in Minor Matter how it works?

Wibs/Rob,

If you are unable to take part in the full run, you would still be very welcome to join for a part of the trip, and this goes for anyone else reading this. Of course if you could obtain some sponsorship for the Million Mile Challenge in aid of Marie Curie, so much the better :D

You never know a lot of people have looked but not signed up or showed much real interest
