Noise Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Hey Guys Basically i have been wanting to do some thing for the Poppy appeal for some time so thought that i would walk from Yeovil to Templecombe in combat boots, trousers and carry 15kgs in a patrol sack + high viz vest. I would carry more but after injuring my back whilst in phase 1 i think id crumble within the first mile but the way i see it as our lads and lasses are serving in horrid conditions and are most likely in both physical and mental pain each passing day i think this is little in comparison. This will be happening just before remembrance day and will be on a Sunday due to traffic as parts of this route is with out path ways so this is what im asking if poss? would any of you guys either like to join me in the walk or provide a motorcycle escort? seeing that we are a motorcycle club and that these fantastic vehicles don't take up that much of the road at least if the Cage drivers feel that its safe to over take they can take that opportunity. I have posted this on the RBL riders forum so i will keep both you and them posted so that there isn't just me walking/running and 100 bikes escorting me or 30 people running / walking and one bike escorting lol. The route which is "13.1 miles" (car says 12 but hey) and should take roughly 4 hours ish to complete. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=Yeovil+BA21+5NQ&daddr=50.9618017,-2.442784+to:Templecombe,+Somerset+BA8,+UK&hl=en&ll=50.968806,-2.509689&spn=0.159127,0.308647&sll=50.968805,-2.519545&sspn=0.159127,0.308647&geocode=FeB9CQMdoQPY_ynD1668R0BySDEC87fxM26PsA%3BFYmdCQMd4Lna_ynd-9-Pc0hySDGwzRBPQfQQEw%3BFWAjCgMdzCPb_ylX44MnAjZySDFSGzYaFUUBYA&oq=BA21+5NQ&dirflg=w&mra=ltm&via=1&t=m&z=12 All comments welcome.
