Valley Boy sponsored walk...Ends
« on: February 21, 2012, 09:01:28 AM »
Tony Wilkins aka Valley Boy has offered to do a sponsored walk for Animal Aid :)

The walk will take in the complete Lycian Way http://lycianway.com/
it should commence on the morning of 27th April this year from Ovacik and should take around 21 to 23 days to complete as it is a 509km(316 mile) walk to Antalya  :o he will camp along the way and carry 20kg on his back all the way, the walk is graded medium to hard :o

He will be doing a blog along the way and back up with photographs to keep everybody up-dated :)

I think this is a tremendous feat and a fantastic gesture to Animal Aid and Im sure many of you would like to sponsor him 8)

You can pledge your money on the this topic or by contacting me through my profile or through animalaidfethiye@hotmail.com
I will send banking details to everyone which will be an HSBC account in England or the Animal Aid account here in Fethiye.

I'm sure you will also want to wish him the best of luck and we shall also organise a 'seeing off' party plus a welcome back party :-\[:o)] ;)

Any queries please contact myself or Tony :)

Tony and his wife are my neighbours  :) and they are great people. This has been in the planning for a while and I know he has done loads of training back home in Wales. I will be sponsoring as it is for a great cause and by great people. Which is easier - give the money straight to Tony or to the account in Fethiye?
