Yesterday's trip was fun, from the sleepy train station of Thorne, to Doncaster, to that there London (Kingscross) conquered the rat maze that is the Tube, to finally meet Jon the brains behind this challenge at Basingstoke.
As a Northerner the first thing I noticed was how fast people walk around here! Let me also confirm that the street are not paved with gold down here, but they do have a magical power called electricity!!! Oh & EVERYONE has Carpets!
The guys I've met are good guys, Johns wife made a fantastic chilli last night & I got a comfy bed. I made a mental note not to get too used to home comforts as we will be living in a motor home for the next 2 weeks, I had very little sleep but I dont think ill have to run today, fingers crossed we all get on by the end & we have not ripped each others heads off. ;o)
There is a massive buzz about the challenge, John has put a lot of hard work into this. He has a radio interview on BBC London at 6:20 so if your about tune in.
Right I'll get off now, I'll tweet when possible throughout the day & post again tonight with highlight of the day. If you around Wandsworth Park before 8am this morning why not pop by & say Hi.
