David is a contributor to this site and today
he completed in the annual Isle of Man Parish
Walk.
The walk itself continues for 85miles and some competitors chose to complete 32.5 miles
from Douglas to Peel. David completed the Peel
course in 6hours 10minutes and finished an
excellent 6th position!
Well Done I knew you'd do it!

Gteat to hear David just make sure no one protests you ok! If they do make sure the appropriate fee is handed over. Take care

Just as long as you're not oversize David . . .

Well done!!

Well done...so much for all the modesty...we knew you could do it!

Thank you, although I was a bit disappointed with my time. I had a lot of problems with cramp over the last 10 miles which cost me a lot of time. For anyone who doesn't know, the Parish Walk is the largest participant sporting event on the Isle of Man, with an incredible 967 entries this year. A record 63 competitors made it round the full 85 mile course this time - heroes/heroines all !

Yes Well done David.I was out watching the finishers coming in till about 6am today,so I slept most of the day,seeing as I'd been up since 4am on Saturday.

You're right ,they are hero/heroines all.You were one yourself the other year!!!

On a racing theme, big Dave Chambers did very well finishing in 4th place.I saw him finish and he was in better shape than I was.Dave was 4th in the 1992 Lightweight Newcomers Manx GP on a 400 Yamaha, in a race won by James Courtney.

Any news on John Crellin? Did he do it all?

John walked to Peel, in a time of just over 7 hours.
