Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
For those of you who dont know, a team of delightfully juxtaposing characters and I shall be attempting to complete the Trans Pennine Trail in three days over the August Bank Holiday 2012.
The Trans Pennine Trail Starts in Southport on the Irish Sea, and Finishes in Hornsea on the North Sea. It travels through Liverpool Manchester, Glossop, Barnsley, Selby, and Hull and covers a distance of 215miles.
The team completing the trail shall be Myself (self confessed lard-arse with a penchant for not knowing his limits), Andy (I'll get involved even if it cost's my knees) Allen, Laura ('Baggers'; I had respect for John Bishop and Sports releif until i realised he slept between marathons) Gibson and Charlie ('The first thing i thought after running my first half-marathon was when can i do another) Kedslie. One could be fooled into believing this is where the Juxtaposition ends; two rather fit and sporty ladies and two men with somewhat more contrary dispositions.
But alas, The men are both softly spoken southern-english nancies whist the Girls were brought up in the Wilds of Glasgow, bearing the brunt of the cold harsh winters (and summers) and travelling over 30 miles each day accross peaty bogs to fetch water on a daily basis (as is my understanding of the Scottish way of life). Tough back then, but it's left them in a fantastic physical condition in later life.
So if you fancy spending a few quid to encourage our disheveled and unprofessional outfit to complete what is a fairly mammoth task, It would be greatly appreciated. It's all In memory of My Grandfather who passed away some time ago, having suffered several heart attacks. He Was a great man, who fought in WWII, with a sharp mind and even Sharper sense of Humour. You are, and Always will be missed, Grandad.
