I guess I won’t bother putting these patches onto anything then eh @trailwalkeruk. It is with deepest frustration, anger, denial and quite honestly heartache to announce that our Trailwalker event was cancelled due to the MoD, Gurkhas + Oxfam agreeing the weather conditions pushed the ‘safe threshold’. We’re all fuming because it’s not even hot anymore, it’s seems more of a cover for any further bad publicity - but that could just be the disappointment talking. Along with effort + stress that goes into raising sponsorship, there’s all the personal logistics, not to mention training + mental build up. At least 3/4 of our team are still looking to do something together this weekend but without the army’s logistics, we just can’t do something as long. It’s actually pushing teams to do the route anyway - which was my initial reaction, “well fuck them I’ll do it anyway” but the event is great because of the support + atmosphere. As bloody hard as 100km is to walk in one go, I was mentally + physically prepared for it so now I feel let down, trying to figure out what can make up for it. Unfortunately it won’t go ahead at all this year. That means that my silent auction will be repurposed towards another charity + endurance event (because quite frankly right now I’m too annoyed at Oxfam despite 15 years of supporting them no matter what) or just postponed until next year anyway - I’ll be in touch with you lovely makers once I’ve stopped sobbing every hour. Now I’ve got to go + sort out the pile of protein, excessive socks + unnecessary amount of shoes. ••• #notveryfuckingtrailwalkerstrong #100km #run1000miles #trailwalkeruk #trailwalker2018 #illdoitanyway #letsfindanotherway
