walking to london
yeah so alst night i was so bored so decided to walk to london. ok i didn't quite make it, but stevenage is 32 miles from charring cross, the last mile stone i hit before turning back was 28 miles so iw alked 4 miles which was quite good. but my legs hurt and i didn't nkow where to go after that unless iw ent down the motorway. so next time i'll try in daylight and make a proper map and take important supplys with me, anyone is welcome to join me.

What was all that about the Steve Miller Band, anyway?

Posted: 17:09 Oct 06 2002 yes that is true, but i walked 4 miles towards london which i was quite happy about, but it does sound better walking 8 miles. hmm i so know i could make it to the outskirts, it must be about 20 odd to the 1st tube surely, i'm so gonna do this. the steve miller band? i dunno i was jsut singing it and couldn't remember who did the song or what it was called.

I love that song. I've still got a tape of me and my old Uni housemates singing it on a very drunken night in.

Too bad you didn't make it to London, I had breakfast waiting for you and everything! (OK so that's a lie, but hey!) Better luck next time.

I've often thought about walking to London!! In fact, if myslef and Hoppy Toad didn't have enough money for the national express before we went to Eclipse we were gonna walk then!! Only problem is, we live in Wigan..........way way north!! ah well, I could see us making it to the town centre and then giving up and deciding to hitch a lift!! hehe!! Anyway SPIKE, if you ever try it again, i'm well up for joining you!! just let me make it to Stevenage first!!

What you should do is turn it into a pub crawl.
Although that further reduces the likelihood of you walking the whole distance, of course..

Talking of pub crawls, I once suggested that a possible meet could be a Red Dwarf Monopoly Board pub crawl....

I quite like the idea of walking to London..from Darwen!
I had a friend who decided after going to a concert in London that he would walk back to Blackburn. Very odd. Amazing thing was that he did manage to walk all the way to the M1 I seem to remember, or maybe the M25. Police picked him up on the hard shoulder in the early hours of the morning.
Strange lad really.

Sounds fun, but uh... kinda exhausting... "Very odd"? That's quite an understatement!
