Day 13 and a difficult but interesting day that saw Jez being driven to the West Brom Ground on the day before he would arrive on foot.  The reason for the break in the walk was so that he could do an interview with the BBC.  So it was all stop, drive to the Hawthorns (whilst having legs iced and massaged), do the interview and then drive back to … [Read more...]

Day 12 and Jez is starting to feel the mental as well as the physical demands placed on his body by the walk.  It seems that sometimes the walking is the easy (if somewhat painful) part and that the,necessary, recovery processes at the hotel in the evening can be more of a pain.

Day 11 and Jez's blister is still causing a lot of pain.  Wet weather in the afternoon is only going to make it worse.

The original plans … [Read more...]

A very early start that allowed Jez to put 10 miles in before the long drive to Cambridge for the 2nd leg of the Play Off Semi Finals.  He arrived at the club to a rapturous welcome and was welcomed onto the pitch by a … [Read more...]

Day 7 saw Jez heading off through Wakefield.  He was making better time than yesterday when he ended up walking for virtually eight hours. Jez revealed, for those who didn't already know, that his left leg was a bit of a medical nightmare as not only has he had knee reconstruction work, but he also has a plate and four screws in his ankle.  As … [Read more...]
