Come on man keep up!

The 5 capitals has been decided on. Just cannot seem to decide where to meet up for the start, what time the kick-off should be, whether or not we should invite Boris, and a few other odds and ends.

I saw briefly the 5 capitals thingy.

I have looked at various permutations of routes both clockwise and anticlockwise from various start points and up to now the timescales are hampered by time lost on the ferries which have a habit of not being there at the times it would take to travel.

The quickest I can see this going is 23.5 hrs and 5-6 hrs of that is lost on ferry travel, boarding, embarkation etc. That route also meant we would do Ireland leg in 2h15m, which I could not get to fit with the boarding and embarkation timings with Ferry Operators whether the same carrier or different ones

As a result it may mean doing this over 2 days

Could any one else look at this

And just to say there is a lot going on behind the scenes with various bods organising things and going for big sponsorship etc.

Make a Wish are delighted we have chosen them as the charity.

Things seem to be decided then, Do I need to book on the ferry or do I pay someone some thing to reserve a place.

you can put your name up in the calendar list, so we have a rough idea, When we are at the booking stage everyone will be contacted.

When all arrangements and decisions are made it will all be put onto the general forum. We are still in relatively early stages.
