While Charlie Engle continues his trek across the US (last known location, Nebraska), back here in Blighty, Sir Ian ‘Beefy’ Botham starts his own marathon walk across the UK!
Beefy’s Great British Walk - Against Childhood Leukaemia

This year Sir Ian is walking across our great isle to raise funds for Leukaemia Research - passing through great British towns like Taunton, Windsor, Tunbridge Wells, Bury St Edmunds, Stratford-upon-Avon, Llandudno, Harrogate, Milngavie and Durham… aaaaaaaaand SpinVox’s own Gary Martin joined ‘Beefy’ on the Windsor stretch!
(That’s Gary up there on the left - with our Mobsters and of course, Sir Ian himself)
Nice one.
You can follow Sir Ian’s story over on his blog - where, funnily enough, he and his walking party have been live blogging through SpinVox… Nip over and check it out.
Me on the other hand? Well I’ve found myself trying to work out how many miles all these crazy people have been walking…
I mean, I’d hazard a guess that you could walk 51.5022 miles in a day, right? Which means…
Oh I don’t know. If I minus the nought, point one… carry the two, add the seven, divide by one and take the three.. er.. seven. Nope. Can’t do it. Rubbish.
Never mind.
Seriously though - Good luck to Sir Ian and his team and well done to Gary for taking part in the fund raising activities.
You make us proud dude!
