well hello :)
- its mad to think that this the half way point was 300 miles ago!!!!hello all,
wow so what a couple of weeks we hav had, its hard to believe that we are on day 97...yep thats right day 97, its totally incredible!
We ahve seen and experienced so much, from the concrete jungles like Plymouth, to the ruged and untouched delights, like Lanacombe beach. Peopl eof all genrerations, all sizes, whether smiling or frowning hav walked past alongside and behind us. I have sat in the most amazing area of outstanding beauty, had car parks all to myself, sqeezed into over crowed and crampt multi stories, and just sat in silence on a verge, the mulitude of greens, with suble pink, yellow and white seemingly sprouting randomly, electirc cables criss cross there way around the countryside, whether devon, or somerset, there still there in all there glory, an unsightly but needed eye sore, although not seeing them is as much a puzzlement, and you spend som much time wondering why there isnt any you tend not to notice what an amazing thing ur seeing, they arent as bad,you dont tend to see them after a while, the trick is to pack to the side of them then your view is interupted :).
I thought that on this trip i would get to know more about plants....what a silly this to think, i see them more, but thats about it, i eiether cant get out safely to get a better look, or i dont have time, but thats ok i dont mind, we have beautiful flowers back home so i will enjoy them when i get back lol, one thing that i have loved and enjoyed gazing at is the sky, the clouds and transforming, building and menasing formations building above me. Its fun to just sit and enjoy mother nature at her best :).
We hav had more than a couple of interesting days, when i say interesting i mean.......hard, annoying and maybe even disappointing, most of these hav been moiving days. Coming across campsites that have been booked but are not in any way accessible, is soul distroying, do u think that the campsite owners how hard it is, to turn up somewhere and hav to leave because they havnt been honest, 'hard; isnt the right word, i think that i feel too guilty, there is nothing that we could have done, if these campsites feel it is nessarcery to LIE about their access then i shouldnt feel guilty, but all you who know me well will know that i do feel guilty i feel very guilty, i am the one that cant use the facilities, and im the one walking. I can kind of understand that these sites would say that they are accissible, if they dont know, or hav never been on a wheelchair, or had a disabilitie, then how would they know! I can understand that if they have a room especially for adapted, thats great but they need to think about the lead up to that room, the type of sirface they have on the roads, that kind of thing. IU dont know that answer but i kow alot of people who would go camong but this problem is stopping them......and thats not fair!!!
Anyway im so a great wafferler, mummy and Colin are walking from Kidderminster to St Albans head, they are a little behind so thats why i have time to go on and on about not a lot!
We had a hard day yesturday, my wheelchair broke, the wheel wouldnt stay in (still wont!), then on the way to Weymouth to borrow a chair, we picked up a large nail int he rear tyre!! had to get to new tyres at the back, heading back to weynouth today to take the chair back, it much better for me to use a chair with a wheel falling out, than the chair i was lent, i am very greatful, but its really a chair to be pushed in, and thats not great!!
I so excited to be coming home, we will be back some time on Monday, going to have to take it steady cos Gertie looses first and reverse gear when she is hot!! Colin (my uncle, mums brother) is with us til the end, which is fab :), going to wave them over the finish line, with balloons, hooters and well as much as i can do single handed...(dont tell them its a surprise hehehe).
Im so proud of my mum, i think she could be one of the most incredible women ever, a good friend of ours, once said that its not the fall that kills you its the sudden stop at the bottem, mummy and i were contemplating this statement, and wondering if it is true in this sense, its not the walking that stops you, its the sudden stop at the end!!!! well we shall see.
Could someone do me a favour please, the grass int the garden at mums could do with mowing, if anyone could do it before we get back, i would really apprechiate it.
Well better go, im sure there is something i should be doing lol lol.
Love to you all and see you very soon
Take care
Charlie, Mac and Treacle
p.s. if anyone wants to join us for the last couple of days please do, i think that it would mean i lot to mummy, we are getting to South Haven Point (the end) on wednesday, then will b up Combe Martin way for the last two days that we had to skip at the beginning. you got our numbers if you want to join us :) :), see you all very soon xxxxxxxxxxxx

absense and catch up
good morning good people, i havent written my blog in a little while and im sorry for that.
I lot has happened since i last wrote, ad then agin a lot hasnt! we had a lvoely visit form my uncle, that was great cos it also meant that there was an extra persomn for my birthday.
We have seen some amazing sights, some incredible places, lots of walkers, cyclists and dogs.
We are 2/3 of the way into the walk now, which is incredible, and you know one of the hardest things of all........finding accessible campsites that say they are, almst every four days we are having to search the area for somewhere to stay, its a waste of petrol and energy. Surely someone checks these sites when they say they are accessible, or maybe they have a manual to go on, what ever is happening its not working at all. i dont want to moan about them but they really do leave me with no choice!!
when we were on the lizard, a few weeks back now, i drove into Helston to try and find a shop to get us some lunch, i was being pestered byu a car that had let me cross, a lady wanting to stand where i was going...you know the sort of thing....so i didnt see the massive ditch that was sitting all the way down the high street next the curb, so in gertie went with a bang, luckily for me though i have four wheel drive so i still had three wheels to get me out of the situation!!! you can imagine what i was saying and thinking at the time! It was helped by some ladies (i use the word lightly) starring making comments on the situation. As you can imagine i left pretty quickly!!
Nothing else like this has happened, which gerie is very happy about!! gertie and have been seen driving backwards and forwards up streets turning in loittle spaces and peering through crevaces....and the reason fo this besides nosiness is the search for a disabled loo, in these small cornish and devonian villages if there is a disabled loo, then its oftern in the most strange of places, there for the search must begin!!
there has been a major development, for those that know me well you will know that i DO NOT eat breakfast, well i have news, i know eat breakfast, and with orange juice no less!! This is big for me so i htought i should share it with my devoted followers!
So let me bring you up to date, we have done Penwith, Lizard, remote unknown villages, harbours that fit a single boat, beaches suitbale for royalty, campsites that should be burnt tp the ground and others that should be given an extra star. We have seen birds of all description, fish freshly caught and still swimming, seals lazing on the beach, people walking, people talking, people smiling and laughing, people doing silly things, dogs, dogs barking, dogs eatting, dogs playing, fishing boats, big boats and little boats, dingys, jet skis and ferrys. We have seen the police on foot, on bike, in the car and on sea. Fishermen in the pub, eatting a pasty and working on there colourful boats, harbours with hundreds of little boats, harbours with big expensive boats, and massive Navy boats filling harbours. We have passed navy, marine and RAF, watched helicopters, gazed at marines, and loved big navy warships. We have seen things people shouldnt see, we have laughed at things that shouldn;t be laughed at, we have cried when it hurt and giggle when it felt good, the smell of baking fills the villages, pastys and bread, fish and chips winging there way out tighly clasped in the hands, bringing with them the hunger making smell, fresh fish coming in on the boats filling the air with a fresh scent and smell the most amazing smell, the sea,the seaweed crashing against the roacks, the sand and the walls. We have done nearly 450 miles of the most amazing, differing coastline in the world. but we still have a way to go, more of the same and a lot of new and amazing sights smells and thoughts.
Untill the next have a good one

wel well well
hello, well what a great day it has been today, the sun was shinning when i got up...it wasnt in the middle of the night ealy hours of this morning...it was very strange i happily tucked up under my dubet when suddenly the car started to move the rain came down in increduble forse and the wind blow.....:( wasnt so nice, but i had brave mac for a cuddle hehe, then just loke that it was gone again...but weird!!
This morning we were all up late so our record for leaving a camposite was never going to be broken! i think we are actually getting later and later everytime...planty of practise still to come though.
After a lovely shower at Padstoe touring pack which has fab disabled facilities, bit of a steep ramp which has a none slip bit at the bottem...nearly came a cropper a couple of times, any how after a nice shower, we pack the car up (one thing i am def getting better at each time, even though there is more stuff i seem to make more room...talant!) we found our new site, watergate bay touring park, and settles in, it was funny watching the tents being put up in the wind...they were blowing all over the place lol. We set off back to padstow, and the heat was lovely through the car window :). I had done a bit of house work, and made sure that the passengers knew that new rules...no going behind my seat, i hav to be tough with them, cos otherwise things are put anywhere and then they get troden on, and lost....and its my home so i think it deserves a bit of repect, they look after their tents...huh thats what i think anyway...lol. Padstow was so busy when we got their, wuite lovely to see, its like a completely different pace when the suns out, found a disabled spot very easily, even though there seem to be only 3 in the whole place, i dont think that wheelchair users at a common thing...and i can kind of see why, i wouldne have said it was very exessable, but it would lose all of its charm is it had ramps fitted everywhere, and buildings transformed, stuff us wheelies, we can always ask for some help. :). Mum and roz headed off bout 12.15 and we said i would meet them 2 - 2.30 hours later at Harlyn bay, so whilei was in padstoe i got a couple of cornish pasties for there lunch, then poped to tesco to get them a good drink. And merroly made my way to harlyn, it was also busy there, i had to double check at one point i was in haryn bay, cos there were no signs lol. I got there late so was worrid they would be waitng for me...well 3pm came and went...then 3.30pm...i thought that mayb they had gone further cos we did discuss the possibility, but i deciede to wait...at 4.15 i was worrid, drove round the car park 5 or 6 times trying to deside what to do, the last time as i look out of my mirror i saw them just coming over the hil, i was so glad, i was getting really worrid. They were fine and didnt relaise what the time was...apparently it was a hard wind.
got top sort out some new walkie talkies cos i hate not being in contact with them.
rite im cold so going to tuck into the duvet and play some uni....it must be my time to win lol lo
take care

guess what its raining!!
Hi
Its been a lovely couple of days, with some stunning views, but its has been wet and cold, with some nice gusts of wind thrown in there for good measure!! I would say its alright for me cos im not out there walking but i have to keep myself busy , yesturday was a 5 hour walk (not nice!) slo i though ok i will actually do something, i decided on Newquay as i havent been for a while.....uuummmmm well that was a silly ideea, not only was it god awlfully wet but it was hilly too, with silly one way straights not making much sense, i got completely lost so just packed up in a car park!, once out and in the chair, i then realised i was at the top of newquay and everyuthing was below me....like a prat i am i thought oh well i will just go that steep hill (which was fun) and have a look around.....not remembering that i would have to go back up that fun hill (not so fun took me 15 minuates and it was that long)i decided after about 10 minuates that this wasnt the place for an over weight cripple in a wet wheelchair to be alone! so headed tot he car. Mac was very excited to see me...not sure why but had a great cuddle, took ,me another 15 minaute to prize him off me so that i could drive. Once in the car and motional i then realised i needed a wee....bollocks! So of i went looking for somewhere that would disbled toliets and that were not on a hill!! Found somewhere....Newquay Zoo, i thought to myself there are worse places to go for a tiddle!! Probaberly less expensive places too, although they do great discount for disabeld adults and children :). after i was releaved, i thought well im here so why not take a look around.....but of course it was raining and appeartly the animals doint come out in the rain...you think that they wiyld be used to it here in the UK!! So what most people would do, i gave up on the animals and headed for a drink in the cafe...got treated like royalty not surte whay but it was very nice hehe.
GFetting back intot he car was fun, i realised that i needed to put the chair right at the back cos next stop was picking up Roz and mummy, the chair was wet and seemed heavier than usual...probs cos it was wet and still had my bag on the pack...duhhhh!!
Thinking that i had loads of time i stopped of at tesco cos we needed milk and something for dinner, (another wheelchair lift in the cold and wet.... :(, im getting better at it... though this time was not a great one....as i was holding the chair out the slid back dooe, i lent to get a wheelchair, and the chair frame went flying.thankfully missing the car next to me but managing to get well out of my reach...you may b surprised to know that there are some situations that i dont crawl on my back side to reach things...to damn wet...nice man helped me shortly after though and put the chair together for me...that was very kind. another nice man congratulated me on packing myself away and be so good at it, and having such lovley dogs...lovely :).
To wet and cold to do dinner at campsite so we had steind fish and chip.....wow they were good and not expensive either.
Having a day off today...the wind would blow them of the cliff (not a great idea), soo we are heading back to newquay, and i get help with the chair....yay.
speak to you soon
take care xxxx

In the pub...and rain!
Hi all, welcome to the rainy country!! i have to say that coming from Wales i thought i would be used to a little down poor and a bit of a gusty breeze...but i was wrong a little rain is one thing constant wet stuff falling from the sky with a strong pounding gust is a totally different and rather unpleasant thing if i do say so myself. we are in a totally amazing part of cornwall, so i am very happy in my Gerti driving up and down 1 in 4s or i think 1 in 3!!
(mother get off my cake NOW please) we are sittin gin Tintagel having a pint and a nice meal, as its wet and blusstery on our cliff top campsite.
Mummy and Roz have done some very hard walks, but are still enjoying it, we had a great couple of games of cards last nite, its normally uno but cant find the cards, gerti is hiding them! It was very jolly we sang all through the games very loud and slightly annoyingly hehe, mummy and roz were so intot he singing that i even had time to cheat so blatently hehe.
Im sorry this is short and sweet but mother is giving me a look that tells me to let her use the laptop, and when a daughter gets that look you have to obey, so for now i bid you farewell until next battery charge up (whenever and whereever that will be) i shall enjoy my cake and have a sleep in gerti.
Take care

Head Injury!!
Hello folks, well what a mad couple of days it has been. not sure whether im coming or going, mind you that might be more todo with the amount of times i have hit my head going from the front of my home tot he back. lol
Gerti is doing me proud, shinning from the inside, she has most defently got a personality, and i can deal with that, we have come to respect one another!
Have been up to some intersting things, but the only one actually worth mentionaing is the Gnome reserve hehe, it was fabulous, loved every mad, other world, slight stoned feeling minuate of it! Wacky isnt the word, actually it was the most exciting thing, thats not sad before you go "aawww SAD", in actualy fack it was inspiring fun by a very good artist (explains everything really), i got me a pixie, its a clown pixie :).

Been out of contact for a while now...oops!!!
WEl hello world, its been a while now, sorry about that, we have a few differculties with chargers andkettles blowing fuses!!
WE are doing really well we are walkind from croyde bay toda, which should be a nice one, i like it cos i get to look at surfers he he. I think i might do some painting today as well.
I am a little bit bored just because i dont really have time to do much between dropping off and picking up, do have time for lunchand a quick read but not much more at the moment, which is ok, i am enjoying driving, its realy god fun.
Its bloody cold at themoment, i dont think i have woken up with out the inside and outside of the car frozen solid yet. The campsites have bn ok, the last one wasnt very accessable for me, but we manage ok, it was sleeping in a mini city, or worksite, so couldnt really relax, very unlike the one that we mov ed to estrday its fantastic theogs can wonder free, and they love the farm dog benny, mac and him hae a wnderful time, the re the same ae so itsperfect for them, its an amazing place on top of a hill, looking down on busy Barnstal below, not that you would know, its silent, birds singing thier songs and thats it, stunning. I am happy cos its sooo easy for me. We went out last night, we onlywoned to get a pint and some chis cos its to windy here for cooking, but we landed on an amazing restaurant, and wow i had a good meal. :)
I had better get going i am not dressed the walkers want to get going!! now they ve had their porridge ad cup of cooffee.

Other tn the tedious man hunting! i also tried to mend the car, took a while, as everything is in Japanese, btnow i know what the problem is all i have to do is find a toyota garage to givemesome parts and i a away.
I did have time to checkoute local bowling alley though did not get a chce at actual bowling, thought i might look a bit 'billy no mates' hich mabe true forsome of teday but theres no point in flainting about Barnstaple. I did have a game f guitar hero, thuht i might make myself look a abit 'hip', unfortunately i put it too hard a level and instead make an arse of myself....i was happytoug and had a good giggle :).
FOund a lovely garden centre whic gave e an oppertuntie to purchase aother dog bowl for treacle as i accidently destroyed the other one with the car...ie run over it! hehehe.
Thaabut all really other than just driving around everywhere to kill time, found some lovely little roads, then turnd around quickly before they got any smaller lol. Im a wuss ..........and proud!! tough i can do 1 in 4s from bothdirections....go me and gerti (the car, i thinkthat she is a russian transvestite, real guts and slight acsent in her grunt!!)

Good morning once more,
Well waking up to a beautiful day like this is quite a delight. Today on the agenda is cars, towbars and cars.
I was sitting out the front of the house this fine morning reading the paper and watching the world go by. After a short conversation with a lady in the village, a well know phrase was mutted: 'the sun shines on the righteous', this got me thinking what does this mean, i say these things but am sloghty un sure that there true meanings are and this is one of them. blaffling i would say lol.
My mind is on over drive at the moment, dreaming so much, day dreaming way to much! lol, its a good thing i think i think it might be a sigh of good things, or that i would prefer to be in an alternitive world, which ever it moght be i am happy.
On a slightly less strange note and even on a almost sad note, i think that bully tactics int he village are a very sad state of the times, more so when people that haven't been in a school play ground for well over 40 years!! I do think that its a very upsetting time, and belittles the authoritie of adults. If you lower to school yeard tactics than you are no better than i 7 year old. I love children, but when the 'tactics' of school yard behaviour that has been happening for centuries, as adopted and instigiated by way over middle age 'adults' its a worrying time for the children that look up to these people, how can we blame our children for acting the way they do. all i can say is act your age, if not for the sake of those that are being bullied but for the children that are witnessing the acts.
Ok rant over, next ont he agenda is to brush my little mac, he is shedding hair BIG style lol. So out comes the brushes and the hoover maybe haha.
I hope that you all have a very good day.

Two million steps
Good Morning World,
Well what a day already, i have had my licence through so i am officail YAY, and we are in the Daily Post, talking about the incredible things that my mum is doing. We leave in just 6 DAYS lol, omg its very scarey but so very exciting. To be honest i am quite looking forward to the break, things have been a bit, well strained in the village just recently, so i think this is going to be just amazing.
Not sure what im going to do while they are walking, search out and find craft shops and galleries, look out for the surfers braving the icey conditions, and taking a load of pictures hehe.
If you know of anywhere from minehead to poole harbolur that you think i should visit let me know please.
Take care and have a great day.
p.s. i dont think i mentioned that i am part of the two million steps, well im the support driver, have a look at the website and maybe we will see you down there.
