Hiya,
I'm seriously thinking about flying over (not literaly, on a plane!) and joining the walk. Could someone advise me on which airport to fly into and where to look for accommodation which would be near to the walk. I'm originally from Lancashire (no jokes please) and now living in Cork. I hate to admit but know nothing of the South of England at all. Any advice would be appreciated.SusieR

Hi gang. My wife and I have registered for the walk and will be staying the weekend.

We hope to be there to

Dave and Sue

Sadly I cannot make London as I have to be in Glasgow the day before.I am however participating in a 10k run in late Septemeber.All monies raised will be sent to the MCF

Hi all,

I will be on the walk with my wife, not sure I will be able to get too much in way of sponsors as already do lots of fund raising but I should be able to get some, will be nice to meet up with everyone.

We are travailing down to London on the Saturday and stopping over night.

Kindest regards

John

Hope to see you all this year, can we get a supermarket to sponser bottles of water ?

Dear All

I was thinking about the timing of the Walk:

“Is a 11:00am start really convenient for those wishing to participate from further away without having to come the day before and stay the night in London?”

So, I looked at the train timetables for various areas and found that even the earliest train service to London will be too late if travelling from:
Leeds (arrives at 11:28)
York (arrives at 11:28)
Birmingham (arrives at 11:00)
Doncaster (arrives at 10:47)
Sheffield (arrives at 10:47)
Hull (arrives at 12:19)
Liverpool (arrives at 12:55)
Newcastle (arrives at 13:15)
Durham (arrives at 13:15)
Glasgow (arrives at 15:40)

There are no problems with catching a train in time from:
Bristol
Southampton
Cardiff
Nottingham
Leicester
Reading
Oxford

It may not be possible to have a time that is suitable for all but it might just make it easier for more to attend if the start time was moved to later. So the start time has been moved to 13:00. This makes it more convenient for those from Leeds/Wakefield , York, Birmingham, Doncaster and Hull. Now, only those from further North (Liverpool, Newcastle, Durham and Glasgow) wil be unable to make it a day trip. The Walk should finish by 15:30hrs.

--------------------
PARTICIPANTS ARRIVAL TIME: 12.00
EVENT START TIME: 13.00

All other information remains the same.

I hope as many of you will take the opportunity to meet up.

Hi Everyone

Just to let you know that I've tried to raise awareness of mouth cancer with the younger age groups on Facebook. I've set up a group called "Mouth Cancer Foundation Walk 2007"... and it's slowly picking up. If you know anyone who uses Facebook, tell them to join this group - and it points you to the mcf website, the mcf walk site and mcf justgiving page.

Regards, Geeta

I might be coming up to Hyde Park to support all you guys on Sunday. My son is coming home from UNI, and we'll bring him back on Sunday. He's at UCL, and he's living just off Oxford Street.

To anybody thinking of driving up, there is no congestion charge on a Sunday, but the local car parks are extortionate, as we found out when we brought up all his stuff a couple of weeks ago.

How long will it take to walk the 10km, as I don't want to arrive too late, and miss you all?
