Last night the team stopped at Southdown B&B in Devizes run by Martin and Sue who are both fans of the U’s. Martin and Sue will be travelling up to Wembley on Sunday for the play off final against Gateshead. The stay at Southdown wasn’t originally part of the plan but Martin saw the press articles about the walk and decided to extend an offer of free hospitality to the team.
When walking as far as Jez is, its important to make sure you get plenty of energy and the Chinese buffet provided by Martin and Sue certainly hit the spot with the everyone. They even provided an Amber and Black themed fruit salad for breakfast.
Jez is due to get close to St Marys (Southampton FC) tonight and will visit the club tomorrow morning.
The major talking point of the day, however, wasnt the walk or the blisters or even the excellent hospitality it was the haircut. Jez decided that the warmer weather meant he needed a haircut and rather than find a barbers Guy decided that he’d have a go with his clippers whilst Jez had an ice bath. Unfortunately between, a mistake in length and the fact that the clippers ran out of power half way, Jez ended up with a very strange looking, half and half, cut (pictured left) – not sure if it will catch on. See the full horror unfold on the Twitter feed.
The club is asking for donations to be made through its Just Giving page.
