Ian is trying to set up his blog site for his walk for cancer research in assocciation with the "pink Ribbon charity golf day" at twin waters golf club on monday 26th October. This Golf Day is being run by Rosie Glasson and her untiring band of helpers.
I have decided to walk 1000KM's from Seville to Santiago in Spain, just to make it a bit more difficult I will be leaving Seville on the 20th july 2009, yes, 1 month away. I am seeking from family,friends,associates and people that could not care what I am doing for a small donation for every kilometre travelled, sorry walked unaided, except for my walking sticks. I will be doing the walk solely and will carry all items and stay or sleep as required, hopefully I will average about 35KM's a day,everyday, I will be following the Pilgrims route known as "the Camino Del Plata" a "Roman way" been followed for many centuries but slowly making a revival of sorts.Hopefully I will be able to keep all donaters up to date of where I am and of things of interest. To be perfectly honest I am not sure what to expect and not sure of the amount of contact and ease of use of the internet, as the route follows no major cities or towns. But as most people know the intrusive internet reaches to most places.

I will be in Ireland for a month doing pre season training hopefully a few guiness and the odd game of golf will not interfere to much before I step of from Seville at the early morning of the 20th July 2009.

This is the first post and I hope many more to come and I will try and not be to boring or predictable.

"The Spanish Dancer"(cancer) is a challenge for many in our communities, I am luckily enough to be able to give myself a challenge of walking a 1000KM's I am just asking my family,friends and others that will come aboard to support people like Rosie Glasson and the cancer council in my pursuit of the 1000km walk
