Well what a great send off the team had this morning from Winships in Ovington. I was really quite surprised when I turned up to see the press and many of Andy's friends and colleagues. The report from the team is that the first day went very well with only a couple of navigation errors and one irate farmer that wouldn't let them continue on his land. The lunchtime stop was to be the Rose and Crown in Slaley where the land lord let them eat their sarnies in the warmth of his pub while they supped a half of ale, well done that man. The team arrived in Blanchland after 21.5 miles....A canny start to this monster walk. Day 2 starts at 8.00 from the Lord Crew in Blanchland.
Anyone who is doing parts of the walk that can send me photos of the day would be most excellent. Please send them to jw.wallis@gmail.com
