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
