THE HHO BIG DOG WALK

[rema]

Put me down too.Me and Floss can do the cornish bit of it,well not Lands End to the Tammar but a bit in the middle.

 

[GinaB]

I would love to do something to help raise money, but obviously over here

 

[Spudlet]

You can, the idea is a virtual Lands End to John O'Groats - so between us we will cover the distance but not necessarily on the actual route. So the same principle as rowing across the Atlantic on rowing machines, but obviously much more fun as we will have our dogs with us and be out in the fresh air!

Also - MM - no reason I can see for it to only be HHO-ers

Now stop this, I must do some work

 

[GinaB]

I wonder would the HHOers over here like to do a meet up to do the walk? I would be taking the Midget lab as Beasties hips would be wrecked after so far and Tina is past big walks like that. She is living a life of luxury

 

[Scranny_Ann]

Oooh i'm defo up for that ... maybe i could do 10 miles with each one of my dogs ... 80 miles??!!?

Blimey you lot got busy last night!!

I went to bed knackered and woke up to 4 pages!!!

Anyhoo good effort - can I suggest someone more IT literate than me copy this thread and post it in New Lounge and Common Room - we should easily cover the mileage then!!

I can easily sort out a long walk through the woods near here if anyone wants to walk Rutland - they are dog friendly so off lead hoonng for the mutts and plenty of pubs to choose from for post walk munchies!!

 

[louisevictoria]

would be happy to meet up with any Devon/Cornwall HHOers

This was posted in Comp Riders but I thought it would be perfect for this too

You can map out your route and it will tell you how long it is

ETA - You have to register, but it's free.

 

[CorvusCorax]

Could we get little pedometers and take pics of our progress, too? I know there are waymarkers in the forest park, I could take pics of those to prove I have been dragged the required distance

 

[tamsinkb]

Count me and my cockle spangle Bruce in - We're in East Sussex if anyone would like to join us for a group walk.

Great minds! I was thinking of this site too

I reckon, that if we need to do the H&S stuff using this site would be a winner, as you can plan the route then give that to someone who will then know where you are planning to go and roughly how long you will be gone for

 

[Cyrus]

Right guys had talks with some mally/sibe friends up and down the country and have lots very interested in doing this

A lot of us in the East Anglian area are thinking about doing a big group one in Thetford Forest try and get something in the local press about it, which leads me to a question

* Are we having one big funraising site (i.e just giving) where we just send people to send sponsors to or will each of us have indivdual sponsor pages

Would you be on for a meet up over here to do the walk? As I think it would be nice to do in company

Don't worry, I'll bring the Midget instead of monstrous Beastie!

 

[CorvusCorax]

Sure! And we can rope Col in too!
B got well and truly put in his place by Wee Tikka last week, I think he should be fine in company now

Re the army wear, only if you want me to get shot, where I live

 

[GinaB]

Yeah, we'll ask Col

As long as he doesn't bark at her, she can't stand dogs that bark and she waps them around the face with her paw

But she's good with other dogs

Where do you reckon we should do our walk?

 

[CorvusCorax]

Dunno, was going to suggest the forest park close to me but I can throw him in the car if you prefer somewhere central.

 

[GinaB]

Where is it you live again?!

 

[CorvusCorax]

Turn North East. Proceed. Scotland will come into view.
If you hit water, you've gone a few miles too far

 

[GinaB]

I'm gonna be shot aren't I?

 

[CorvusCorax]

Yes. Let's go somewhere else

 

[GinaB]

We should go to one of the forest parks. How far would the likes of Tollymore etc be from you?

 

[CorvusCorax]

Not too far, sounds good!

 

[GinaB]

That would be good then, it's lovely there and you can walk as fra as you want

We'll take a picnic

 

[CorvusCorax]

Yay!

 

[GinaB]

Midget says picnics are the best thing ever! Now, all we need to do is rope Col in.

What date is it?
