jlo Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 (edited) Please wish me luck everyone - I think I might need some positive vibes tonight - although thinking about it you will hopefully be fast asleep when the vibes will really be needed... Along with a group of mates, I will be walking eleven miles around Basingstoke, starting at midnight, to raise money for the local hospice. I should also say that there will be about 1000 women all together! It seemed a really good idea when someone suggested it but now I am thinking that I will have to be up for the next twelve hours and, goodness knows, I need my beauty sleep! I know that some of you have done the Moonwalk and I always wanted to have a go at that too. Maybe there is a streak of masochism somewhere inside me! If I am not on here for a while after tonight, you will know why! Edited September 5, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Good luck Jlo and hope the rain holds off till after you finish - I may have to cross my legs as well because I am looking outside and it is not nice colour sky. I will have to stop at crossing my eyes though - I might bump into something or fall over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poachedegg Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I did something similar in Warrington a few months back - it was actually quite fun...though the top of my legs ached the next day! Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 It's still dry here - hopefully it will stay that way - but quite chilly, but I'm sure Jlo will be warm enough marching along. I think a Radox bath will be in order for the morning (obviously after a long lie-in). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Still dry here, so she didn't get a soggy walk (ooh imagine the blisters if it had been raining). Enjoy your lay-in J? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlo Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 It was fine! There were over 1,100 women (including some dodgy cross dressers!) taking part. The atmosphere in Festival Place was really good. The place was a sea of yellow t-shirts and flashing bunny ears! I saw parts of Basingstoke that I didn't even know existed! We made it round in 3 hours and 40 minutes including a couple of wee stops! (I am the tall gurning one!) This was before the walk started and we were all still smiling at the end. I am not sure why I couldn't manage a lie in this morning but I guess a siesta may be on the cards! Thanks for all your good wishes. Apparently £139,000 has been pledged to St Michael's Hospice which is excellent. Perhaps I might try for the Moonwalk next year....anyone up for it??
