Another email this morning, from reader Chris Yapp telling me that he has had to pull out of the Challenge.
It seems odd but it is my readers that are all pulling out. I have to repeat again that this is entirely co-incidental.
Before anyone wonders whether I’ve been doctoring water bottles again I should point out that Chris has badly torn the ligaments in one ankle.
I did this once as a young man when playing football. It was the the most painful thing I have ever done. In fact, I did it again — twice. Left ankle twice and right ankle once!
I gave up playing football on park pitches after that!
This is Chris before injury! Get well soon and maybe 2011 is the year for the Challenge!
Sorry to hear about the injury Chris.
Andy – does this mean you’re definitely on the Challenge????
By reckoning I’m No. 2 or No.1 but I’m loosing track of the people I’ve jinxed (now where’s that voodoo doll ..)
I might have to ask for a loan of it when you’ve finished with it!!!!!!
Fine. But which Challenger is it modelled on
Mmmmm!
No idea about that……….
i,ve now done both ankles and this is the worst yet and keep that doll locked up
You really do have my sympathy Chris!
i,m already planning a new route for next year and in september i,m doing the west highland way after putting it off for about twenty odd years
