Keep fit and raise money for Animal Aid

[Tiggerwoo]

Anyone up for a sponsored walk in the beautiful Hampstead Heath for Animal Aid on Sunday 4th June.

Will be going to this one myself (although that might put a few of you off:D ) but it will be a great way to keep fit, plus raise some money, while having a laugh at the same time!:)

[Tiggerwoo]

Yay..... Am sure you will be, you going in to hospital round then aren't you?

[tabitha]

In on 18 May, so should be fine by then (although will look like Elephant Woman).

[Tiggerwoo]

Awwwwwww. You'll look fine.

You could always go round in fancy dress....... Will make more money!

Well, I could always say that medical research did it to me.....

i'm a veteran of the Animal Aid sponsored walk (you may be interested in my thread about it here (http://veganforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3808))

i will probably be doing it this year too.

[Tiggerwoo]

Awww, sounds like you had a great time over the last 2 years, and am really looking forward to doing it now I've read that thread.

Hopefully will see you there this year.

The more the merrier!:) So come on everyone, it will be fun, fun, fun!:D

[Gorilla]

yeah, it's a great event and it was good to meet Tony Banks there last year who is sadly no longer with us.

hopefully i won't get hayfever this year - Hampstead Heath has caused me few sniffles in the past! :p

[Tiggerwoo]

Oh no, hayfever is sooooooo annoying. Does anyone that has been know if we're allowed to take dogs with us? I know our border collies would love it as they've been to Hampstead Heath before? I would have thought it would been OK, but wanna check first.

[Gorilla]

i'm pretty sure i've seen people doing the walk with dogs before and i doubt Animal Aid would stop people bringing their dogs, but maybe best to contact them though. Karin who's organised the walks in the past is really friendly and helpful.

[Tiggerwoo]

Thanks Gorilla, am sending off the the sponsor forms this week, so will ask her then.:)

i had a really good day at the Animal Aid walk yesterday. the weather was almost perfect, sunny and hot but not too scorching. it was really good to meet Tony Benn, what a lovely man. he gave us a little motivational talk at the beginning (he wasn't able to do the walk with us). made it round in just over two hours with a break for food halfway through, not bad going considering i'm fighting off a cold and hayfever at the same time ;)

went for dinner at the vegan Chinese buffet afterwards. :D

not feeling too great this morning though...

[gertvegan]

Nice one that gorilla, shame about not feeling tops this morning.:) :(

[Gorilla]

thanks Gert.
