The Sahara will be PINK!! How scary is that people? :O)

10 weeks??? Is that all??? Good Luck to all you brave people doing this trek :0)

We leave on 11th March and will start walking on the 12th..... I'm getting scared already cos I just know the others will be fitter than me!! :O)

And I am absolutely petrified!! After today I shall be taking a break from the boards so that I can concentrate on preparing for the Trek. The boards are just too addictive and you lot are way too friendly! I may allow myself a weekly peek at the threads though! When do we get all remaining info Diana? Daisy

OMG - Helllllllpppppppp. lol That means in 12 weeks time we will have been and gone and done it and be back home... Jxx p.s. Happy New Year Diana and everyone!!

OH Sugar.............that has really made my stomach turn.

cliff has been preparing for it by faling down a mountain..............lol

LOL Lou, He never told us that......hope hes ok btw....I saw his ad in the Leicester Mercury while at mums last week, talk about small print for his charity page addy. :o) x

Will there be television coverage ??? :O)) lol

Didn't you know Anne, your comming along to film it......LOL :o) x

Sorry Suzy - can't LOL My walking boots have just retired pmsl xx

we hav just had a realy nice suprise my friend jane (her hubby is who cliff walked the mountian with) has said they wud like to buy cliff some equipment of some sort for the trek................thats so kind of them :-) they hav lost someone to cancer to so they want to suport cliff in the trek as they think him (and u all) r doing a good thing :-) think they r gonna buy the sleeping bag for him :-) suzy hes very proud of the write up in the paper :-) lou x

You're all going to do so well! Just wish I could be there with you all, will be thinking of you every step of the way! Love becx

Lou, Clif has every right to be proud of his write up, it was very good. Its just a shame that the email addy for donations was in very, very small print, I couldn't even read it. Suzy :o) x

Oh I do wish I was coming with you all. Hubby did say he would give me the first £1,000 but I just do not know enough folks up here that would help me raise the rest. The relay is not going to be finished in 10 weeks time, so I doubt that GB can come with you either. It is also doubful that it will be finished in 15 weeks so we can celebrate the end of the relay on St, Georges Day in Birmingham. But OMG what celebrations we shall have when the Sahara Trek and Relay has finished. I am sure they will be fantastic. Love Jenny. xx

suzy the writing was small i hope that peopel cud read it ok !!! jenny and bec id hav liked to do the trek too................if there was toilets, showers, swimmming pools and a taxi to take me everyday :-) im glad its him not me doing it however i got the kids to look after so not sure who had dranw the short straw !!!!

Lou, I was successful in getting an ad in two of the local papers round here, and was dead chuffed that they devoted probably about half a page to it. However, it seemed to have little impact initially and the money wasn't coming in but over the last month, I've had more money than I would have expected suddenly arriving and one or two people said they had noticed my ad. So, it's quite possible that it has generated more interest than I probably first thought. As for the time left, 10 weeks is going to go absolutely nowhere.

I've finally been offered a write up in our local paper and can write it myself so shall hope for a final flurry of interest from that. Daisy

Good luck all of you. Enjoy it all, it will be a great experience. If I were fit and healthy...... I still wouldn't come! LOL Well done Daisy, you always wanted to be a writer. Way to go girl! Deanna XX

I had a write up in my local paper re: the balloons race, and very good it was too. I have yet to see any donations made from it unless cheques were sent straight to the Pink fund, but I dought it. Suzy x Daisy.......Good luck with yours xx
