How I did it: I just larked about, alot. But silliness sent with admiration and respect is valid too, so I think I pulled it off, just.blimey, you want more?? Cripes they don't mess around do they? Maybe the folks who made this website had some viking blood too, and thats why they are so demanding. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I called up Bono, who called Peter Gabriel, who called the Dahli Lama, who called everyone else, and told them all to turn up for the party. This they did cunningly disguised as ordinary folks!Then we inflated balloons, stuck up some bunting and some banners, gave the marching band a play list of India Arie tunes, and just cut loose with the celebrations. It was fab, and to cap it all HG turned up in fancy dress! ;) Read how I did it…
How I did it: I got to the venue a little early and chatted to the folks who had organised everything. When they told me it wasnt an "in the round" kinda event, but a get up on stage in front of everyone and use a mic event, I was very close to running a mile! But they read my poems and then insisted that I got up and read.So I did, and it was scarey, and I don't think I looked at the audience at all, just kept my mind on my pages, but it kinda worked … Read how I did it…

this looks like the kind of schedule I’ll aim for. You can do it quicker, or take more time, but this looks like its got a good balance:
Day 1: St Bees to Ennerdale Bridge. 14 miles (22.5km)
Day 2: Ennerdale Bridge to Rosthwaite. 14.5 miles (23km)
Day 3: Rosthwaite to Grasmere. 9 miles (14.5km)
Day 4: Grasmere to Patterdale. 8½ miles (13.5km)
Day 5: Patterdale to Burnbanks. 11 miles (17.5km)
Day 6: Burnbanks to Orton. 13 miles (21km)
Day 7: Orton to Kirkby Stephen. 13 miles (21km)
Day 8: Kirkby Stephen to Keld. 13 miles (21km)
Day 9: Keld to Reeth. 11 miles (17.5km)
Day 10: Reeth to Richmond. 11 miles (17.5km)
Day 11: Richmond to Ingleby Cross. 23 miles (37km)
Day 12: Ingleby Cross to Clay Bank Top. 12.5 miles (20km)
Day 13: Clay Bank Top to Glaisdale. 18.5 miles (29.5km)
Day 14: Glaisdale to Robin Hood’s Bay. 19 miles (30.5km)
As for the timing, well all I’ve read so far suggests that october isn’t a great month to be doing this walk in, so I’m starting to think maybe the october half term will be a bit late. Current idea is probably end of september across into early october. That way the weather and the shorter days shouldn’t be a problem.
Now just have to start thinking whether or not it should be campsites, hostels or b&b’s.
and have a nice stroll at the same time.
So this walk will now be done with the aim of raising money for these super folks:
http://www.ghimirefoundation.org
and any 43t er who wants to join in, for the whole walk or just a single leg will be welcomed with open arms(and sore feet). Lets walk the walk and help put some hope into peoples lives at the same time.
Hoping to co-ordinate this for sometime next september(or during the October half term break depending on who wants to join in and their availability) so it matches with the intended arrival in the UK of several international 43t ers.
