TWO DAYS TO GO UPDATE - Please sponsor me if you can. Thank you. 21:29 - Feb 8 with 4475 viewshoppy

As a volunteer involved at non-league level, I'm trying to raise funds to help achieve the ground grading requirements needed at Ipswich Wanderers, which if not achieved, the club face being relegated irrespective of what happens on the pitch - after two successive promotions as champions each time, we're competing at the highest level in the history of the club - which has brought about these ground grading requirements to compete in the Isthmian League North.

Also to raise money for our charity partner of the year - local charity ActivLives ( https://activlives.org.uk) by walking the 14.5 miles from Ipswich Wanderers to Stowmarket Town for our game there on 17th February.

I'd be very grateful if you can make even a small donation. Thank you so much to all those that have done already - so far raising a great total of £930 at time of typing.

UPDATE AS AT 15TH FEB: Including cash donations, the current total is £1792 (before JustGiving fees come off) - Thank you so much everyone.

How's the training going Hoppy?

Any decent pub stops on the way?

Come on people, if you haven't, give the man the price of a coffee, or a pint if you're less flush.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

I haven’t had a lot of time for many warm-up walks, to be honest. I did a little 3.5 mile walk this morning in 54 minutes, as needed to collect my car from leaving it at friends we were round last night. That may well be the last opportunity for a semi-decent walk prior to next Saturday.
I also haven’t fully planned the route to see which pubs are most likely useful hydration points yet either.
Thanks for asking… and thanks again to all those that have kindly donated!

Yes, thank you. Getting there.. I’ve also had some cash donations too, taking it a bit closer. I’m going to give it a last push in the next few days to see if I can reach it!

Thank you. I had a number of donations come in last night from the group of Danish fans that were on Life's A Pitch last week, who said at the time they would get a collection together when I was on there talking about it, which was brilliant.

Oh, and one of my fellow walkers has looked at the route, and given the weather conditions this week, is suggesting a slightly longer route may be better for us, due to verges and walking on the country lanes in places - so more likely to be 15-15.5 miles than the 14.5 initially thought.

Nice one Hoppy. You were asking for trouble stopping in a pub though - I'd never have got going again!

Poll: Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

Thanks. We actually reached the pub we were aiming to arrive at for lunch about 12 noon about 40 mins early at 11.20, so we kept going for a bit, and stopped further along. Then the second stop was the pub about half mile from the ground, so might've had a couple of pints there - which probably affected our overall average pace, which including those stops was still 3.75 miles per hour.
