Absolutely.

@deebeedoobeedo you know where he will head when he gets to Pilton and if there might be a welcoming group?

PWMC?

Yes me and Digger. PWMC shuts at 4pm on Sunday so its beers and Twix at chez deebeedoobee's. All welcome, pM me

[Dillyblue]

Glad to donate. What an amazing thing to do. Xxx

[March Hare]

Just donated, great cause. Best of luck

[parsonjack]

OK folks, it's fake Glasto weekend, the sun is out and Hancock's gone....how about we all celebrate by thrusting a hand in your pocket and bunging all the loose change you can find to help @Superscallyhit his target and provide Oxfam with loads of lovely dosh?

Our man is currently just south of Leominster, 37 miles in and around 23 left to hit his daily target in Coleford later this evening.  He's now done 98 miles, yes 98, since yesterday morning, so if you think that's ruddy superhuman, you're right, it ruddy is! 

Now go chuck him a quid or two 👍

55 miles done and he's still out there folks...approaching Monmouth with another 15 to go to the overnight stop.

Going to be a late one tonight for @Superscally

Make it worth his while eh?

Tremendous effort. Deserves the freedom of Pilton. 

[Crazyfool01]

some very apt lyrics to todays efforts .... please keep those donations piling in ... and Ensure Rob is not walking alone 

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

[parsonjack]

Morning everyone....hope you all had a great evening. 

Our man @Superscallyis on his last leg today, running from Monmouth to Pilton and scheduled to arrive in Pilton to rapturous welcome this evening.  The bunting is up, the ticker tape is ready, and there's a bath full of Radox awaiting  chez @deebeedoobee but he still needs more lovely donations towards his target,.

Do what you can here pleeeeeease!

Beat me to it. Just had to give Scally a nudge , he’s a little tired today…..can’t think why

[deebeedoobee]

🎶🎶🎶He’s coming home, he’s coming home 🎶🎶🎶🎶…….well he is just crossing the bridge actually. Still sunny in Pilton @Superscally.

19 miles under his belt this morning and about 35 to go Pilton.  At current rate he should be arriving to a welcome of thousands around 2200hrs this evening.  Michael is firing up the barbecue and Emily is doing the disco.

Make it worth his while eh?

Almost done a marathon already today. Absolute scenes.

G'wan Rob la!

[parsonjack]

OK....34 miles done and @Superscallyis now on the A37 just south of Bristol.  He's got about 21 miles to go but it's A37 all the way now so very nearly the home stretch.

We're still short of donation target but the great news is that we're only £45 short of £2000!  That's an easy milestone to hit folks....that's like 2 pints each for half a dozen of you!

At risk of sounding like a latter day Bob Geldof.....give us your money!  Please.

Fantastic effort from him. Hope those who are waiting can make sure he gets a real big welcome when he finally makes it. I bet now everywhere is looking familiar and he is probably thinking about many years stuck in traffic when he's though I could probably run this quicker than the car will take. 

[parsonjack]

Just gone through Ston Easton where a small group turned out to cheer him on 👍

 

[parsonjack]

Just found him north of Shepton Mallet.....very chipper, if not very wet.  

Home stretch now 👏👏👏

Terrific, the best thing to come out of Liverpool since Stevie Gerrard! 

[Crazyfool01]

3 miles to go … get ready to raise those glasses to Rob 🙂 

[maelzoid]

On the farm now. Does anyone know how close he’ll be able to get?

[parsonjack]

He's arrived 👏👏👏👏👏

This is entirely supposition - but given that we know both Emily and Oxfam are aware of this, I'll be shocked if permission hasn't been arranged for him to get to the Pyramid itself.
