Day Three Hundred and Seven

Thursday 15/4 Another 5.30am start , up to the office for 6.15am having dragged all my stuff from the Milano apartments in the early morning air to Oxfam office on Leicester Street. Drove to Jells Park where the start is to start doing Urban signage.

Urban signage involves placing signage along parts of the trial to give walkers direction, warn them about dangers etc. Not the greatest job in the world during rush hour especially pulling up on hard shoulder of motorways etc. but hey ho.

The afternoon was spent building Checkpoint 3, this is at a fantastic location called Grants Picnic Ground.

Here there are wild parrots and Gullahs which feed, much like pigeons in Trafalgar Square as a tourist draw. The birds are obviously far nicer than the disease ridden flying rats of W1.

Pictures of our build and the birds are below After the build drove back to the start and then to accommodation near the Finish.

This wasn't the nicest place Ive ever stayed, and was a dorm style place ad was cold!
