    Default Help for Heroes

    Please remove if not allowed.
    Myself and another member from here Sparks, are embarking on a long haul trip in March 23th/24th/25th/26th.
    We are planning to do the Hadrian's Wall walk
    We aim to do the 84 mile trek over a period of 4 days @ 22 miles a day.
    Spending the nights bivied down at the end of a hard days slog.
    Carrying all our supplies and shelter.
    We are going to do this for Help For Heroes.
    We have managed to buy, beg, borrow and steal most things we need.
    Hope you guys will help and support us for this trip and a great charity.

    All the best Alan and Adam.
    We would also like to thank those who have helped us

    Can't see it being a problem Spoony
    Run it past Tony as a courtesy, and the best of luck with it all
    It's a cause very important to a lot of folks on the forum.
