Day Two

Jul 24th, 2008

Well it’s the end of day two and all has been fairly quiet. I spoke with Dan this morning and he said they had missed the last post yesterday which means I have no video to post. But the good news is that we’ll have a double whammy of footage to show tomorrow!!
His twitterings have been few and far between today due to the limited mobile reception in the Dales. In fact I’ve not had word from the walkers since lunchtime today when Dan texted:

Stopped for lunch after doing six miles. Only ten more to do today. Bugger

I know today was going to be a tough old slog for the gang as it was 17 miles or so of uphill struggle…..maybe they’re still walking now!! I guess we’ll have to wait until the tapes come rolling in to find out!!

I think they should step it up a gear, and try to be back home by the weekend!

Its a bit like those Apollo moon missions where they went around the back of the moon and couldn’t get a signal so the whole world waited to see if they’d come around the other side or not…

OK its just me then.

A small sign of life is still a sign of life.

Good to hear they’ve not been abducted by aliens during their trek! Also glad Ban can still spell “bugger”.

Sorry I missed this because I was out having a great time, eating drinking, sitting having a laugh with my mates etc…

I can hear the huffing and puffing from here.

I’ve missed all the excitement! On the other hand, I could always pretend that this is the same as watching a stack of Battlestar Galaticca DVDs all at one sitting.

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.
