Vans Are Packed

16th July

My hired Euro Van and my van are now packed

To day in Newcastle the sun has been shining down all day. Well part of all day...

This morning we sorted out all the stuff ready to load into the Euro Van. Half of our stuff was in the garage, half was out side the garage. Must have taken the best partof 4 hours before we patted ourselves on the back, well Addy and Jackie did, i cannot....being disabled and all that..

Anyway as i was saying, just as we sat down for a well earned cup of coffee and you can guess what happened next, the heavens open up and it poured down with rain and it poured down with rain...even the wet gear we had outside has now to be dried...still, the stuff that we could not get wet was in the garage safe from storms way.

At 5 o'clock the guys arrived to fill the Euro Van. The amount we had i felt we could get into the van easy. Wrong...The guys did get most things in but our plan of only having me and the two Alex's in my van. Wrong again. Philips bike will be in my van along with one or two other bits..

So there we have it. I have now handed over to my team, this challenge and i am now on board for the ride...May God Bless them all..

I have a great team, and if any team can become a World Record team, i have them..

As the next few days, weeks unfold, i shall write on my blog about the ups and downs of a World Record Challange..

To anyone living in Newcastle, Metro Radio are following me on my World Record attempt.

I am now closing for a while. See you all when i get to Lands End..

Bye for now...
