It is looking highly probable that the boots , and other equipment I bought , for the james2odsal walk are going to be of some use after all . It is looking like mid-August I will be doing the Wainwright coast-to-coast walk for Yorkshire Kidney Research , of which our very own Captain Supremo Sir Kevin Sinfield is a patron . Just sorting out a few details before making a final decision .
Should I get the ok to go ahead then I will have to play catch-up because walking partner will be setting off over a week before me as she ain't well and can only manage 10 miles a day . She will be in B&B every night while I will be carrying all my gear , roughing it in a tent , and trying to make up the 120 or so miles head-start she gets . Hopefully walking together on the final two days .

Wish me luck on this one .

AND ... Watch this space for news about the suggested cake night in aid of YKR. Just trying to figure out how, where , and when to arrange it , and how much room will be required before we go ahead . Need an idea of how many people will attend . Anyone definitely interested please let me know .

If you are thinking of having a cake stall at HQ on a match day then I will get my daughter to make some cakes for it! Sales will be astronomical given the second passion, after the Rhinos on here!

If it happens it will be an organised cake night in a real ale pub . Bring a rugby themed cake and a donation . Put all the cakes (with names and description on ) on a big table . Cut the cakes ( will need a lady for this job ) . And get stuck in to the cakes while talking rugby and sampling some fine ales . Take samples of cakes home for breakfast if there is any leftover at hometime .

Could a night out be better than that ?
