andy_bray Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Jim just wishing you all the best on the Parish walk on saturday And hope that you can make it to the meet on sunday with the Leggo.. See you later
dooahhdoo Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 All the best m8. I walked 4 miles home and my legs are f00ked Good luck
Cret Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Aww shucks, cheers dudes! Have to try and resist the usual Friday night temptations of drink & women seeing as the start is 9am Saturday. Aiming to make it as far as Peel and hoping to beat 7.5 hours with it (only because my brother will never let it lie if I don't!). I'm not looking forward to the last 12.5 miles of it but I have a cunning plan to motivate a finish, which will involve someone waiting every 2 or 3 miles apart for the last 7 or 8 miles from the finish with a cold beer for me! If I know there's one of those waiting then pain, suffering & the lack of ability to take another step will hopefully go out the window! I'm fully intending being there on Sunday, you just might see me doing a lot of sitting down and moving very slowly when I move at all! Oh yeah, anyone who spots me along the course I'll expect a good toot on the horn and a wave!
Boxer23 Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 All the best, mate, and I'll be cheering you on (and cracking the whip) from Malew church!
Tearz Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Good luck Jim!! Good plan with those beers mate! perhaps if theres a couple of vodkas every mile or so too you will be able to *walk thru the pain barrier* j/k Hope to c u on sunday!
Frankie Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Good luck Cret I'm sure you'll do well. Just make sure you make the bbq coz I know you like your cheeeeeessseee burgers and If your lucky, maaaaaammmmmaaa might just bring ya'll some sugar plum piiiieeeeee....lol Good luck
Cret Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Cheers everyone. Looking forward to it but not looking forward to it at the same time! << Good luck Cret I'm sure you'll do well. Just make sure you make the bbq coz I know you like your cheeeeeessseee burgers and If your lucky, maaaaaammmmmaaa might just bring ya'll some sugar plum piiiieeeeee....lol Good luck >> [Roger Moore accent mode] Sounds like an offer I can't refuse!

Boxer23 Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 You'll do fine, mate, and I'm sure all that a$$-wiggling down Douglas promenades in the evenings will pay off!!
Cret Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 A$$ wiggling? Didn't realise you'd been watching me quite that closely! I might have to run when I get near chez Boxer!
Boxer23 Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 When Lionel Ritchie speed-marches past after 10pm on a dimly lit promenade, it's hard not to take note!! Ha ha ha
Cret Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Bloody hell I'm knackered!! 7 hours 59 minutes and 50 something seconds to do the 32.5 miles to peel!! My feet are a mess but I'm glad I did it.
Dave K Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Well done fella. So a good few pints well deserved now then.
Cret Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Cheers Dave. Just went past you heading towards peel actually but was in my mum's peewee little 106. I'm hopefully still going up North tomorrow, but if anyone takes the piss out of my John Wayne style walking there'll be trouble! I won't be able to catch them but I'll bide my time......
Cret Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 Cheers mate. Where were you though? Have a feeling you might have been driving off towards Ballasalla just as I was getting down* near yours. *And I don't mean 'gettin down'!
andy_bray Posted June 20, 2004 Author Posted June 20, 2004 Howdi , Jim very well done Get off your horse and drink your milk , partner'rrr. See you tomorrow
