Train

45 mile walk Blackwood-Brecon

After experimenting with Ferdinand (I) the trolley I decided to get out and test her

8.30 pm and I embark on the voyage only to get a 100m up the road. Ferdinand (I) didn't have the balls for the journey and gave up, swinging left to right, moaning like a yak giving birth.

I walked until 11.00 pm and found a little tree to sleep under in Pontypool park

Awaken at 6 a.m by my bowels and realise that the bush to my left would be the host for easing my troubles, felt like a bit of a pervert but it was sheer relief.

Onward to Blaenavon, Abergavenny and the Brecon-Monmouthsire canal.

2.30 p.m. meet a guy called Les Pryce. 5"2 , 8 st, midgetty bloke - can of cider. Les walked a mile with me.

Les used to be the best decorator in europe and has two letters to prove it, he also used to be a professional boxer. When I told him of the upcoming walk he went on to tell me that he walks this part of the canal every Monday-without fail in rain, sleet or snow. The whole mile!

As we parted Les told me that he was born in Brecon and that if I mentioned his name i'd get a bed anywhere there.

Ironically, I slept outside a day centre for alcoholics, which i'm sure certainly know the name of Les Pryce

Mayor of Caerphilly

I went to Caerphilly Council today to meet Mayor John Evans. John was very enthusiatic to the cause and introduced me to as many people as he could. We interrupted what looked like important meetings just so he could spread the word!

It was interesting to see the inside of the offices as it is a bit of a controversial building, costing £30 million. Hopefully with people like John in charge, it will be money well spent.

John pledged to buy 100 miles for the trip. I almost feel bad taking donations from people like this as they are such top individuals that they give so much already.

However, there would be no money in the coffers as everyone who has contributed have also been the nicest people.

32 mile Caerphilly summits challenge awaits tomorrow
