…and now over to Jo Blythe for the weather

Jul 20th, 2008

by Dan.

ITV Yorkshire have put together a special weather bulletin just for the walk. There can’t be many other charity events that can boast their own private weather service.

It only cost us £1750 of the £2350 we’ve raised so far.

Only joking, they did it out of the goodness of their hearts. Many thanks to Jo Blythe and the rest of the team.

They’re going to make you famous! Don’t let all the media coverage go to your head :)

That’s awesome. Both the fact that they did it and that they goofed on you too.

Good stuff! If the first comes to pass, you will surely collect more cash for combat/pity pay I think.

If that walk was taking place here in MN I would have believed the first version. So was that the actual broadcast to the public or did they do that as a private thing just for you?

That’s awesome. If that weather holds up your walk will be downright leisurely.

Too Cool! No pun intended there, especially since it looks like it will be quite pleasant. That is seriously sweet (literally) coverage.

Avitable – You and half the population of Yorkshire

Gail – What have I done to deserve this spite? I’ve been nothing but nice about your upcoming florida trip!

Clair – I would respond, but my agent has advised me against it.

VegasDad – Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool

Xbox – Yup

PG – I think i’d rather leave the total where it is if that is the extremes I’d have to face.

Jeff – No, it was recorded just for us. An All that Comes With It exclusive if you like. Neil works for the TV station which is how they know about us.

Whit – I’m not counting my chickens just yeat, but if that is the weather then it’s going to be ideal

James – It may be going up on their website, certainly they are doing a video diary for us.

That is really cute. Over across the pond here, if they did that, someone would sue. That’s because we have no sense of humor anymore when it comes to anything official. I love it.

So how come they get to dress down so much and our newscasters still have to wear business suits????

Good luck on your walk!!

Who am I?

My name's Dan and I live near Huddersfield in the North of England. I’m a 34 years old part time stay at home dad. For three days a week I'm also a community mental health nurse but you won’t find me blogging about that here. I’m married to Kerry and we have two children - Amy (6) and Evan (3). I keep chickens, grow veg, and take the occasional long walk. If you want to know how other's describe me then take a look here. If you haven't been here before feel free to say hello in the comments.
In July of 2010 we'll be walking the length of Hadrian's Wall in six days. That's 84 miles across the entire width of England.

We're walking in aid of the Joseph Salmon Trust, a charity founded by our friends in memorial to their son Joseph who died aged 3 in April of 2005.

The Joseph Salmon Trust supports parents who have lost a child by providing financial assistance to those who need it most. Please consider sponsoring us. Thank you.

Disclosure

Any Blu-Ray movies I review on the site will have been sent to me free by a PR company. They have also given me the Blu-Ray player to watch them on. I will remain 100% honest in all my reviews however. On occasion I may review a product or post a link on my sidebar in return for a donation to the Joseph Salmon Trust. Again, any reviews I write will still be 100% honest.
I also pick my nose occasionally and sometimes drive slightly above the speed limit.
