They've Gone!!! (from katie...)

My dad has always left things til last minute, and this morning was no exception. Not only did he leave for the office to "tidy a last few things up" at a ridiculously early hour, but he left without having even begun to pack. Once home he was stressing about what clothes to wear and how many pairs of shoes to take, thank god Aly arrived to help sort the poor child out. Chris's car stuffed full, they left at around 11am to set off on their 6 hour journey to Lands End!


Sorry Aly and Dad for hacking into your blog, but just wanted to let you know how proud I am of both of you for even attempting this mammoth task! I've never been a fan of running (what you're doing would give me nightmares!) but your dedication and courage has put awful thoughts in my head about wanting to take up the sport! You've got my support 1 million percent behind you, along with the rest of your family and friends. I know how excited people are about coming to join you on your amazing journey.

All the best of luck on LeJog, I know you're going to have the most fantastic (although gruelling) time. Good Luck! You can do it!!

So so so proud =)

Lots of love
Katie

Hi Malc and Aly
We hope the first day has been a success and that you have arrived safely at Porthleven. We have been thinking about you all day and hoping that the weather has been better with you than here. We had to contact Katie to find out how to communicate in this manner so I hope this finishes up where it should.
I shall be following your route on as many OS maps as I have got and we shall catch up with you somewhere along the way. You must both be crazy.
All the best
Ken and Jules
PS Malc ..... don't leave your scarf at the top of any mountains!!
