Pep talk at 0645 sharp..!
Ian & jo raring to go!
Go on Daddy's girls!
An army primed and ready to roll
This is it guys no turning back now!
Don't they all look keen!
Karl's looking for the pub open sign already
Has anyone got a compass?
How does Dooley lift those boots?
Ian & Tim lead the way!
Only another 18 miles to go- it's a breeze!
Dooleys even smiling at this stage!
The battle hots up at the front!
A more sedate pace following on
Is that the England back row- strewth!
Happy little thing that Dooley!
Kev & Deb lead the next group
A boyish looking Scott- is he shaving yet?
Katie & Iain walking in time!
Where's Dave inserting that- the sheep have run!
Is Karl sleep walking..?
Bit of a possee there!
Time for our first break of the day!
And the relaxed mood confirms it!
Corporal froggy keeping an eye on the smokers
I think we're going that way!
Confirming were not half way there yet...!
Well done Brian- keeping us safe!
It's that break away group at the front again!
Katie with time even to wave...
Bit of a family affair- stop posing Mark!
Mick ploughing a lone furrow- have we upset you?
I don't think I punched the camera man!?
Am I mistaken or is Drew singing?
Three musketeers bringing up the rear!
I think Tris is punching him now..!
Single file now please- don't fall in!
Nobody's missing at this stage I believe..?
Look out Ian he's behind you..!
Ian doing his Sugs impression!
Oxygen's at the next bend Tim- just kidding!
Froggy must be on gas & air- still chirpy!
Who's telling the jokes- cheerful group
Mark looking cool- tabbard for drool..!
What's caught the lads eye- totty on the boat?
Looking well after Tennerife Tris- good times!
Is that your graffiti Brian- I certainly hope not?
Is that the Royal wave at the front..?
Nice hat Mick- you little trend setter you!
Yes confirmation it's nicked from Hinge & Bracket!
Another brief refreshment break!
Not far to go now guys!
Not often a halo over that head eh Ian!
And so towards the Birmingham to Fazeley canal
Come on Mick- keep up...
A teary moment? I hope not Dave..!
Massing towards the end of the canal now!
Not that one about that carp again Ian surely?
Mark again looking like he's just started- grrrr!
Kev, Deb, Drew and the non dancing defender
You takin' the p*** again Scott- surely not?
Go on Froggy- nearly there son!
Who's the slim bloke looking for stragglers?
Go on boys- you can virtually taste the beer now!
Ever onward- Claret & Blue towers behind!
Go on Ade- I'm sure Karl will get 'em in soon!
Will that lad stop making it look so easy!
Doesn't seem so funny now does it!
I must have let Froggy through on the rails!
That explains it- distracted whilst eating!
Well done Ian- come on boys....
You look as fresh as when you started!
Familiar territory now- and less thirsty too!
One last push for that elusive finish line!
Bit of a spring in their step now!
Definitely striding out now!
Bit of a stroll in the park really!
Froggy's leading the cavalry charge now!
Is that a rendition of River Dance Mick..?
Is Tris mimicking Spencers sling?
Thank you for your support- how apt!
We can see you behind the sign Tim- just!
One for the album Iain..?
A well earned rest I think you'd all agree!
A tray of 24 pints wouldn't go amiss!
The valiant troopers punch the air!
Enough exhertion for one day for sure!
Katie smiling enough for two!
Tim, Kev & Deb- that tastes good..
At least the drinking arms alright says Spence!
Laura and Mark ready to walk back...?
Thirsty work that think Jenna & Aimee!
A rewarding pint after a hard day eh guys!
Warmed up now Jo- where's the gloves?
Anxiously awaiting the Shaun of the Dead audition!
Ian getting far too close to Steve's feet!
No Euro lottery win here it would appear!
I wouldn't be messing with these 3 either!
Nice Froggy back-pack you've got Ian!
My self operated glove puppet impression!
Mick & Froggy- thank God we're back!
Dave & Tim content with a job well done!
Great to see Ali on the website- boing boing down!
Ian & Jo- obviously thirsty. Next one please!
Steady Gord- any more and you'll fall over!
Kev & Deb wondering when the disco starts!
Scott, Dooley & a young Villa bloke- sorry Ali!
And they'll be back in an hour for an all nighter!
And Ian looking as fresh as a daisy- sickening!
