Day six, the wind (rain later on in the day) is the only company that John and Martyn will have along this next stretch of the Thames. Really great to have a send off with some small but important young people from Abingdon, captured in a photo that some how has disappeared. This part of the walk is in the region of 13 miles long, following the river and is about five miles as the crow flies. If you are in need of a good nights rest with early to bed, then come and get some fresh air with the boys, you’ll enjoy it. 
The forecast for the next few days is a little grim, but if you wanted the good weather you should have been there last Saturday. Be really good if you could pray for the core walkers during this time, 184 miles is a long way and will probably seem never ending as the days go by.

Come on then, dig out the comfy walking shoes and join us, even if you can only manage a 
half day, we’ll look after you. The first blister appeared today, but with the application of Mr Listers broken Blister Plaster the problem was eased, now can we make a tongue twister out of those words.
The south of the country is much more heavily populated than the North, but seeking people to walk with us is like finding hens teeth, where are you, we’d long for you to spend the day with us or just part of a day.
Tomorrow starting at Wallingford (the bridge over the Thames at 10.00 a.m.) to Tilehurst station. Then on Saturday (also at 10.00) it’s starting from Tilehurst Station and going to the station at Henley on Thames. Simon Barrington (CEO) will be joining the team on this day, so you can have a chance to meet and talk to him, if you don’t you’ll miss a great opportunity.

If you don’t know much about Samaritans Purse, then have a look at your diaries, we have two day conference, Leeds on May 9th and Swindon on May 16th. Further details can be obtained from 020 8559 2044, the guest speaker at both venues is Joel Edwards, and the cost is £10 for the day, including lunch. It would be really good to meet you at either of these venues.
Well done boys, if you start to tire remember what the conditions were like in Kenya John and I'm sure that will give you the spurt you need. Remembering you in my prayers. Nan
ReplyDeleteHi Martin & John. It's good to hear that you're keeping to schedule. Keep it up! I'd love to join you again this weekend, but sadly I have to be at the other end of the country.
ReplyDeleteHope the feet bear up under the strain of blisters.
