(I can't get the hyperlink to work!!)

Can I draw your attention to this website? Although it will be brief, and there is not much on the website at the moment, the teams will pass through the town on their way to Northern ireland (the nutters are rowing from Southend to Ballycastle. When I get the date, I think it is about the 26th May, I will update so that you can get out and support them on their merry way.

Thanks for that - my hopelessnes with electronics is still risable

It would be great to give them a good old Kintyre send off for their row so keep us posted Swanseajock!

[Bonnie Lass]

good grief rowing across the Irish Sea - rather them than me - keep us posted, looks like a challenge and a half.

Can I get readers to look again at the web site? It is much improved with updates and information. The teams will be in the Town on 24th May, having cycled from Oban, and then will stay overnight before rowing to Ballycastle.

Their site shows the row as 17 miles ... not from Campbeltown, it's not - more like 25 or 30. That sounds more like the distance from Dunaverty to Cushedun. Anyone know the details?


Also, they arrive on the Friday and leave on the Saturday. That's the weekend of the Mull of Kintyre Run ... not sure of the detailed programme for the Run weekend, but there is obviously some degree of 'fixture congestion'.

Well folks, the chums are getting closer to D-day. Last text I had today was that they were in Inverness on their way to John O Groats for Wednesday's start. They will see you on Saturday and Sunday and then row over to Ballycastle (mad fools). Give them a big welcome

Why on earth would people support this ? It's one thing to give to the needy, but this......

Stinks.

Overpaid, good pension, know they stand a good chance of survival cos we only go to war(and when was the last time we were at war ? Falklands? ) with lesser armed countries.....etc et bloody c.

I suspected what kind of character you were on the other thread but it is now confirmed.

As an antidote to the nonsense above, I went on the website to donate but every time I click on the 'How to Donate' bit the page goes to 'Error - this page has moved' - is it just me?

Cycle - Oban to Cambletown Total 107 miles

Row - Cambletown to Ballycastle Total 17 miles.

Certainly a worthwhile cause.Just hope they know the way from Oban to "Cambletown" ,as they will not find it on any maps or road signs.

I see that they are climbing "the UK's four highest peaks" Ben Nevis, Slieve Donard, Scafell Pike and Snowdon.

The UK's four highest peaks are in fact Ben Nevis, Ben Macdui, Breariach and Cairn Toul.

Aye, I know what they mean, but that's not what they say. (Just being pedantic.)

[gizmo]

Aye. Cos everyone loves a smart-arse.

[EMDEE]

Aye, indeed.
