The rain only decided to come after we set off,and in only enough quantity to drown us, and not the land.<br /><br />If your daughter decides to hate you for making her read the blog and the inane rambling of a mad truck driver.......then I take full responsiblity for your actions.<br /><br />I wish my 14yr old Son would put the games controller down long enough to do the walk....but 2014 may come tooooo soon for him when we go as a family...but without tents.<br /><br />Good Luck.<br />Any more info you may need...may I reccommend the Sherpavan website forum.<br />You can see my Total Novice(reluctant trucker) thread on there, and also the real people who know all there is to know on the C2C are there and only too willing to impart anything and everything on all matters coasting.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01946082870792530343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872475520211490677.post-2144942724081599602012-03-20T05:08:41.172-07:002012-03-20T05:08:41.172-07:00Ahhh...the C2C Musical!

I'll be holding my breath in anticipation of the debut.<br /><br />Can you give me advice regarding equipment we might need for navigating the peat bogs in June? I read on someone's blog that he needed waist high waders...?? I thought perhaps we might need some high boots but waders? <br /><br />Would appreciate your insight.

THank you for your kind words.
I hope you ...Patti.<br />THank you for your kind words.<br /> I hope you enjoy the walk as much as I did,and I am glad you like the blog.<br />It was alot easier to write about it than walk it,but it's one of those experiences you just have to do,and I am sure even if at times on the walk you think "Why the heck am I putting myself through this" ,and " I wanna go home" and "where's my mummy", but you know what, it's addictive. I just wish I could do it sooner than I am going to do. THe people you will meet are amazing, and they will think you are too, because when you have done it....you will truly be amazing. I keep remembering little things, and keep putting them in the blog. I am now working on The C2C the musical.........well a montage of all the piccies with some nice proper songs to go with it. I am going to YouTube it when it's done,and put a link on here.<br />Keep watching.<br />But most of all.<br />All the very best for your walk. I hope the weather remaind kind for you, but be prepared,and GOOD LUCK.<br />Never give up,you'll hate yourself.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01946082870792530343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872475520211490677.post-33906033419682266452012-03-10T06:28:46.060-08:002012-03-10T06:28:46.060-08:00Hi Paul -

My 13 yr old daughter and I embark on this same adventure June 10th...a mere 12 weeks from now. I'm making her read your blog before we go to give her a realistic perspective of how hard (and how amazing) it's going to be.<br /><br />Hope to meet up with you in 2013! Oh, yeah....we're gonna do it again.Patti Lavellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03085719450903982583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872475520211490677.post-78513899866668820042012-02-23T14:21:36.641-08:002012-02-23T14:21:36.641-08:00Hi Paul

We met most days, the first being at the Black Sail Youth Hostel (I'm in your short video). Because I have difficulty walking at a faster pace my days would start between 4 and 5am and you guys would invariably race pass me by later in the day. I also jotted down my thoughts, but unfortunately I don't have too many pictures (my camera broke!) The website is: http://tomjfitzpatrick.co.uk<br />I will also do the walk again, who knows June 2013 might just be the time.<br />Once again, many thanks for sharing your experiences.<br />Kind Regards<br />TomTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798297146977139005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872475520211490677.post-83610567920854337112012-01-12T06:30:10.385-08:002012-01-12T06:30:10.385-08:00You are most welcome Mike.
