Sam Spade Charity Walk - Please help.
One or two of you may remember that a couple of years ago I was very ill and eneded up undergoing a liver transplant. I'm pleased to say that I'm now in good nick but was horrified to learn recently that a very good mate of mine now has serious lung disease and has been diagnosed as requiring a lung transplant.
As a result of this news I have decided to undertake a walk of the James Herriot Way (52 miles over 4 days) this September in aid of The British Lung Foundation. I have been "training" since April but this from a base of being out of puff walking up Holmesdale Road. I would be really grateful if you would visit my "Just Giving" page and leave a sponsorship pledge if you are able www.justgiving.com/David-Kemp3 Thank you all in advance. Would some kind mod make this a sticky please?

6 miles round the grounds of the NT Stourhead Estate this morning which concludes with what, at the moment, feels like the hill of death but in reality is probably a gentle incline. Could do with losing a stone (+!) and fast. Less than 7 weeks to go.

Mr Spade, you are usually a man of impeccable taste in terms of literature, so it was with great sadness that I read of your planned trip. There was an obvious walk you should have done - The Hardy Way which starts at Higher Bockhampton where the great man was born and finishes at Stinsford churchyard where his heart lies buried. If is therefore one of Life’s Little Ironies that you choose a walk that relates to the author of some second rate vet stories.
Seriously though, I hope the rest of your ‘training’ and the walk go well. It should be wonderful if the weather is kind to you. Sponsorship duly done. |

I will give you a plug on the radio on Saturday
And as a part of this year's Palace Fans Walk to Reading I can offer a few words of advice: don't start walking too soon after showering in the morning, this makes the feet soft and liable to blistering and shredding - best off not washing at all Definitely ramp up the training and bed in your shoes, and get some proper walking socks. And fill your pockets with cereal bars and Kendall Mint Cake.Good luck!

Thanks Scroatey! I was hoping to do the "London Clubs" Walk in 2011 but it was too soon after my Op. and this year Mrs Spades birthday clashed with the Reading game. Maybe next time?......(if I survive.....!)

7 miles along and up the Limpley Stoke valley between Warminster and Bath this morning. "Why Does it Always Rain on me?" (Is it because I lied when I felt 70!). All donations very much appreciated.
