I had to give up the ghost at 01:12am 🙄.
Mixed emotions about not being able to finish on a day we had so much support. Very humbling.

@mcgills2511 Hi Steve, I've had company since I started at 6am so we're not going as fast as usual, but I'm getting all the gossip!
I'll put up some more posts when it's just me and a Carl Sagan 'Cosmos' audiobook.
Sorry Carl, friends & family first right now. #allgood #GCH_Charity

It feels like a birthday for my heels today with the gift of #Sorbothane heel pads. My wife's physio has these as the (you've guessed it) #RollsRoyce of heel pads. I'll let you know one way or the other on August 23rd 😉. Excited over heel pads, rock'n'roll me🦶🤓👍

@GlasWigan It's the Rolls Royce of anti-chafe 👌

[No Walk in the Park @nwitp2020]

When you're walking 130km in 24 hours, you have to think of everything. That's something else off the list ✅

@The_Proclaimers Okay, so I walk 🚶‍♂️ better than I sing 🎤. If The Proclaimers themselves sang this verse for our charity event, it would take our fundraising (& funraising) to the next level. @GCH_Charity #letswalk #donateonesomething #500miles #130km #nowalkinthepark2020

[No Walk in the Park @nwitp2020]
