Lands end to John O'Groats - sans training

[d000hg]

What's the need for people getting sponsorship to do something they wanted to do themselves? If it's your dream, just do it for your own satisfaction.

Now you're talking.

We could do this in a Union Jack painted mini, you poking out of the sun roof wearing German lederhosen(?), me driving with a mask and red cape(dun dun duh!) and SY dressed as a nun.

It's him!

ftw, CM's the Nun

Have you taken the baton from Troll?

Just remembered. I had a dodgy chinese the other day and then had a very odd dream the other day about the poster d000hg.

I dreamt that I was at a CUK meet up and met you in real life and that you were in fact a middle aged lass called Barbara pretending to be a bloke. Very odd that Babs.

It is a good plan.

Many things do not require training before starting the big event.

I mean, for your little bike ride here, the first day you bike a bit, then you rest, then you are fitter the next day and bike a bit, rest and become fitter, etc.

It is the same with running a marathon slowly. Just make sure you start out nice and slow to build up fitness.

Tthe only problem is that at the end of your bicycle trip you have become quite fit and there is no cycling left to do. That is a waste as you are not very fit. The solution is to turn around and cycle back to the starting point slightly faster.

It is not difficult, the only challenge is to find the time to do it. I suggest starting in the middle of February as it is not too warm.

Are you game?

Having to be sponsored to do things seems a peculiarly English disease, along the lines of the American disease to sue anyone who annoys you.
I'm sick of people wanting to be sponsored to go sky-diving or climb a mountain or white-water-raft somewhere. Maybe I should do a sponsored wine-tasting...

Could we start a trend for sponsored suicides?

It would solve the weather change problem.
It would solve the unemployment problem.
It would solve many other problems, since most problems are man made.

ClientCo keeps me chained to my desk from at least 8am to 7pm at the moment

No he doesn´t. You choose to be subjugated in this manner and he takes advantage. Tell him from now you´ll be working normal 8 hour days with overtime as an exception rather than a rule. If he chucks you out, find another contract and do your training while you´re benched. If he doesn´t ´then you can do the training.

Either way, you´re not going to achieve your dream while letting someone else control your life.

Man up before you end up realising on your death bed that you´ve wasted your life.

You are of course welcome to your opinion. It makes you look a miserable twat, in my opinion.

k2p2 and friends did this last summer. They took around 3 weeks and they did train for it, so I suspect setting off in February and aiming for two weeks may be a bit ambitious.
Hopefully k2p2 will be along to offer her experience later.
