Let's go nuts in London...the 26/26/26 Challenge 2012

26 miles, 26 of London's finest landmarks on the 2nd of the 6th 2012. Get it in your diary, cancel all holidays, gypsy weddings, barmitzvahs, divorce parties, stork deliveries, work engagements, social gatherings, family BBQ's, wakes, festivals,circumcisions, feasts, fasts or fetish parties (unless of course I'm invited to the latter gimpy gimpy house S&M tie me up and walk me round like a dog rave woof woof, will you rub my belly if I ask you nicely, purrrrr)....

So what's the deal....you pay me ten quid and I will let you walk round London for free, for as long as you like, breathing in an unlimited supply of air. There will be free water for most of the journey although it's not the cleanest, it's tidal and you will need to wear a life jacket to fill your camel packs. Watch out for floaters, sinkers and mid water bombers!! Oh and rats!! For all you dope head stoners, I will also throw in an unlimited supply of free grass at three key pick up locations (Hyde Park, Regents Park and St James's park).

There will also be free bear (when you pass London Zoo and look over the fence near the swings on a bearing of NNW just to the side of the komoda dragon enclosure)

No contract, just a one off lump sum payment of ten squids, half a score, a thousand pennies and not a penny more and your in. How's that for a slice of pure gold !

Also, now this is where I get serious for a minute, for that £10 fee you get to support two great charities CLAPA - Cleft lip and Palate association  http://www.clapa.com/

AND

Born too soon, helping premature babies and providing much needed support to parents http://www.borntoosoon.org.uk/index.html

Of your ten pound entrance fee all the money raised will be split 50/50 between these two charities less of course my administration and personal expenses. Now this is a grey area, not always declared when collecting for charity so I want to be very clear on this, transparent in fact. The percentage for administration will be zip percent, the percentage for expenses will be naff all percent, the hidden deduction will be buggar all percent...the amount taken from the £10 that will not go equally to these two charities will be sweet FA percent. You get my drift, in fact for every ten pound entrance fee I will add 10% out of my pocket to help these amazing charities. 

Now I know you'll be there if you've read this far and will already be deleting dates from next years social diary and counting out the coppers in your Mary, Mungo and Midge money box so please, read on.

On the 2nd June 2012 we invade London Bridge around 9.00 am for a 9.30 start. We are dressed as complete idiots in a variable array of stupid fancy dress costumes, some of us holding collection buckets, balloons, banners, stickers....(on grounds of H&S molotov cocktails will be strictly prohibited). We aim to walk at a nice steady pace around the City of London taking in 26 of the major Historic and Modern landmarks like,  London Bridge, Tower Bridge, Tower of London, Globe Theatre, Tate Modern, Millennium Bridge, St Pauls Cathedral, The Monument (Pudding Lane), Cleopatras Needle, London Eye,  Big Ben, House of Parliment, Westminster Abbey, WhiteHall, Downing Street, Admiralty Arch, Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, Planaterium, all the Royal Parks plus of course Take-a-Lookie chinese resteurant in Gerrard street

My buddy Chris Pearce, whose daughter was sadly born premature and with a cleft palet and who is the reason behind me organising this event will also be at our side. In fact he will be at my side quite a bit....if fact he will be strapped to my side. This will be something like our sixth event we have done together for CLAPA and Born Too Soon so this one we go together...like tied together ....as in the three legged man.



Please please please join us if you can, spread the word to the world, everyone is welcome and for those not up for 26 miles or who want to bring people with little legs there will be a shorter 13 mile walk starting a little later but finishing at the same place.

Post event, for those that want to hang around, this will be done in the usual style by taking over a pub and a place in China town for much carb loading of the drink and solid variety.

Hope you can join us and make this a memorable event. For the 54 that made extreme laundry on Snowdon, you all know what a great crack and weekend that was despite the absolutely horrendous conditions.Would love to see you all again in the big smoke......pi - pi - piano piano piano.....

Look forward to seeing you fellow nutcases join together as one, once again,....

Forver grateful,

Si Smally
