Dear All,
Just a quick update on how things are going.
After taking advice from a few people we have decided that the first day of the walk, through Wallsend and Newcastle, will not be done in kit. Therefore, once we're finished at Segedunum at about 12.00, we'll be getting back into our civvies and heading for the city limits as fast as we can.
Unfortunately due to Newcastle City Council's policy on charity collecting we cannot collect money on the street as we walk through town, so our lack of costume won't actually make much difference. If you're looking out for us, and you spot a small group of determined looking walkers in Help for Heroes T-shirts, that'll be us!
We've managed to get some more training done for the sword and shield fighting as well. I had intended to post some piccies of us in training but cleverly forgot my camera. Never mind, still a couple of weeks to go!
Donations have been flooding in to the Just Giving website as our publicity has cranked up a gear or two, let's hope the momentum continues up to the walk itself.
I'll try and post again a couple of time before we set off up to Wallsend on 29th.
Until then - All the Best.
Stuart Ivinson and Kevin Morley, Hadrian's Help for Heroes.
