Well here is the new thread for 'Walk for Life' 2008!
Raising money and awareness for people living with HIV and AIDS in Africa and the UK.
This year the walk will be starting from and finishing @ Potters fields park, which is located next to what looks to be a 'sliced egg' building, which is actually where the Mayor of London and the London assembly are situated. I hate Ken livingstone by the way!!
The 10km walk in the beautiful summer sun and stroll past some of Londons most famous landmarks, as well as a couple of Pimms along the way, raising money for a worthy cause and being with ya bocking buddies, what else could be better??
The website www.walkforlife.co.uk has now been updated but you can still register, so do it now! I hope to see alot more faces this year and i dont want any excuses.

I'm game :thumbs:
( And sorry for mucking the other one :-[ )
-
Great!! Me and Q think it would be better if we all signed up as a group, so we all arrive and leave at the same time. We are also looking for a name for our group, remembering that there is going to be bockers from all over. Suggestions welcome! jelly x
-
Will you be setting up an online donations thing that was set up last year? If you do let me know and I'll give it a front page slot on the Projump website like we did for the children in need event earlier in the year as it may encourage random browsers to donate too.
These were the pics last year if anyone whats to take a look http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?action=gallery;cat=25
Hope u get a bigger turn out this year :thumbs:

Just saw this after I posted the last one.. Ummm maybe something simple like "UK Powerbockers" or "UK Bockers"
-
Uk powerbockers! I like that one
-
Jelly you have me again this year, as last year was class, we may also see my old office, lol I so wanna bock outside it
-
Online donations can be set up on the 'Walk for life' website. Its easy really. Come on people we need more names for our group of bockers taking part!! jelly x
-
Confederation of British Bockers then we can greet each other with the cry 'G'day CoBBer'
Not the face not the face dont hit me in the face ;D
-
LOL, Oh dear Q. That is quite smart... jelly x
-
I like Naz's suggestion of UK Bockers, keeping it simple is best. Make sure you get in touch with Crusaid and let them know you are doing it. Ask if it would be possible to have your own seperate start. If you can get say 80 bockers, it would look very cool if you get to go off by yourselves.
-
Keep the names coming and the participators.
So far we have had.
UK Bockers unite,
UK Bockers,
Bockers for life,
United nation of bock,
Da Bockas,
National bocking Collective,
Confederation of british bockers,
Jellys b!atchs, ahem.
s***s.
Come on girls. Jelly x
-
I rekon Bockers for Life is the best so far
-
i think that one was my creation, lol
-
Ok we have decided on a name for our group, Bockers for life, now all we need is people to attend this charity walk, hands up please. Just think of the pimms. jelly x
-
Bockers for Life, fits in really well with the event name, Nice 1 :thumbs:
-
Yeh i think i'll be up for it..... spud?? Gixer?? Trip?? any of you thinking of doing it??

Deffo up for this, do we each register a sponsor page seperately on the WFL website, then add our names to a "team" page, like with the Sport Relief website? I'll go have a look.....if it's 10km I doubt I'll be wearing my Ghostbuster outfit, I'll sweat to death!!! :D However I have mucho other cool cyber-chick stuff to wear :D
-
Gixer you get to meet me more in my area of the country, lol :nana:

Why not wear the new Capital Bocking Tee? Then your advertising the next event?
When the pix hit the forums the colour alone will start to stand out and register and advertise that event. ( just a thought so dont any1 go hijacking this thread hehe)

Thanks Jelly. I really would take you up on that offer but I have college in the morning and a deadline on that day. Proberly a 9am one too unfortunatly. I don't even think I could hand it in early as the 3 weeks before hand are my work experience and half term. I could find out if any lecturers will be in that week though.
Thank you for the offer though. Really nice of you :-*

-

Keep pestering people, thats what I did last year and it worked! take your sponsorship to shcool/work and keep campaigning to get sponsorship. Remind people they can sponsor directly online.

Yes of course you can, the whole point of this is to raise as much money as you can for the charity. It is irrelavent that its something you enjoy doing.

Nice one heather, keep it up. I dont have a job at the moment so im just relying on online sponsors. Im still waiting for promised sponsors from people on facebook, as i too have a link, but i have'nt recieved any yet. But it does'nt matter how much you make as long as you take part as its all for a good cause!
Latest update, Dannii Minogue will be there to cut the ribbon, whoop! They could have got Kylie, but i suppose she is just as good. jelly x

Have booked train ticket, should be landing in London at about 0945, where are you all meeting to register?
-
hi
think Danii is more for the Dykes
think Ill pop in railway station after work today and get ticket. Ill aim to get to waterloo for 0945 ish too. So anyone comming from the south/south east maybe we group together at the station 1st and head of out of there by 10?
As for meeting. Prob a bit early for the beer tent ;D. So how about peeps head for the south East corner of the field --then all congregate around the 1st person to arrive?
All are welcome to PM me if you want my mobile number.
-
I'll be landing at Liverpool Street, I'll have to take someone's mobile number so I can ring and find you all? I'll be getting Cyberloxed up if the weather's not gonna be too sweltering :D

Re clothing andindeed carrying stuff. As little as possible. Remember the stilts weight 8.5 Kgish ---depending on make. Thats like 2 bags of sugar strapped to each leg. You need no more reasons than them to get hot and sweaty. So Id suggests shorts and a white tee, make sure there are no spots where the stilts rub--bleeding blisters just below the knees are not a pretty site!. maybe a spare tee to change into after event. 1 maybe 2 minimal tool kits between lot of us. Mobile and money and water oh and sweetees.
Also you will get lots of requests to jump up and down and do stuff. Id advice we take it in turns. Last year I swear we did an extra 3Km that wa in the field before the walk even started
Ive prob missed it but is there an estimated 'end of day' time?
-
I'm now joined up. Just got to book my train ticket.
-
I only have hot pants *giggle* which I think I might actually be wearing, if this weather continues the way it is. I might just wear them anyway!

I've got a kiddie-sized rucksack that fastens tight on my back due to the smaller size, so it won't bounce around when I'm moving. I'm bringing a spare pair of socks and a FULL box of plasters, I think I'll be OK but if I have to I'll de-bock and walk a while, then bock up again. Do they hand out water on the route cos carrying a bottle all the time will be a pain and also heavy.
I'm not doing ANY jumping up and down with the Cyberlox on, it'll knock me out ;D ;D ;D ;D If the weather is gonna be cooler then my Ghostbuster and inflatable Proton Pack are coming with me :thumbs:
-
cool, i will see what i will wear on the day, lol
-
Doesn't it say we will all be given a T-shirt to wear on the day !?

If thats the train your going to be on pm me and we could swap numbers and be train buddies :)
-
Hi Mike yep do try and make it. from Perranporth ( wow if you can make it really really well done). I suspect you may well get the line that goes thru sherbourne.
-
Q, you better be there, or I will come down and find you in bournemouth :nana:
-
dont worry tom gonna get ticket in about 20 min on way to a meet
-
cool, I will still come down and visit bournemouth, lol
-
There's 15 in the team :)
But we only £225 so far :-\
I hope those who haven't got any money in yet are working on it ;)
-
I am working on it, sending my lecturers e-mails asking for sponsership, along with the students in my class, lol
-
The weather is going to be sooo hot, that i think hotpants are the way to go! Hey everyone should wear hotpants that includes the blokes too ;D jelly x
-
I may well try and do this. I don't really know anyone though, I usually just browse the forums and don't post ^.^ But would be so great to meet other bockers, plus for a good cause =)
It's a bit of a way to come for me, from Cornwall, and with the Sunday train times there and back..

I may not be able to make it after all, as I'd completly forgotten that it's my sisters birthday on the 1st of June!
However.. I'm not 100% certain.. ;)

Ok people 1 week to go!! :banana: Im embarrassed as i havent raised much money. :-[ Im going to send people on facebook a reminder to sponsor me, for those who are doing it dont take any notice of it, im just going to send it to everyone, saves me having to pick out the people who are taking part. Over 20 of us doing it, should be a right laugh! my mum and my sister will be my bag hags. lol. Got another letter today with a map of the route, cant scan it as i dont have a lead to connect them, grrr. So we are starting at Potters feild walking over Tower bridge past tower of london, walking walking walking till we come to St pauls catherdral past old bailey and up to Holborn, walking walking walking to we come to Bow street go through Covent garden, past the strand. Come to Embankment over waterloo bridge by the London Eye my new place of employment, past the national theatre, television centre, walking walking walking to the Tate modern past shakespears globe theatre, past London bridge the HMS Belfast and back to Potters field. . . . And we are finished. Yay! There we will be greeted with a goodie bag, a medal, music, a BBQ and entertainment from Danni Minogue, Alan cumming and the 4 Poofs and a piano.
Check in is between 10 and 12, could we all meet before we go to the registration marquee, otherwise we may be starting at different times and we should all walk together! There we will get our free tshirt and a wristband to determine what time you will be starting, dont forget that water will be supplied half way round the route and at the end. So no need to bring a gallon of water with you! Dont bring sponsorship money as they have no where to hold it there, keep it safe at home. I might be cheeky and ask for sponsors on the way round the route from bewildered people, bewitched by our glorious height and sexy legs! Cant think of anything else to put at the moment, but to say pester all your friends and family one last time for sponsors. We are going to have a ball so Goodluck to everyone taking part. love jelly xxx

Hey its going to be raining on the day, but dont let that put you off! I have bocked in rain and snow before and its no problem, unless you are the wicked witch of the west and you might melt if touched by water, lol. Bring a brolly if you must but im not going to bother, im just going to soak it up, like dancing in the rain but bocking in the rain. jelly x

we get to see my old office as we walk over tower bridge, lol

You can buy cheap £1 plastic rain coats from Poundland if it doesn't rain don't open it and save for another day. You can re-use it but it's folded in the bag better than you can put back in so leave it in the bag !?
I've got a size (L) and I can just about Bock in it and you know how big I am !?

Well , according to my forecast any rain will be once we are just slowly plodding the route. Showing off in the fiels will be unaffected. So its all cool as I see it.
Ill be uploading some funds 2morrow and hopefully another fund raising initiative ( hint hint Colin). Ive purchased my 'rail ticket for life'
This now means one thing to b desided on.....
....WHAT 'SWEETS FOR LIFE' ARE WE BRINGING?
Think Ill stick to the tried and trusted ASDA ecconomy Jelly Babis

Lol, jelly babies. Im bringing my fave Haribo Starmix, yum yum. jelly x

I hope you mean Tangfastic!!!!

oooo sweets, lol

I've not seen the weather for Sunday yet but if it's really wet and crappy then I won't be turning up, as bocking will be pointless, it'll be cold and miserable, and another very long day for me with all the train travel. TBH I'm near burnout after this weekend at the London Expo, I'm very tired, Fuzzbutt work is piling up and I need to tell myself to have a break or I'll be doing my health no good at all, so an extra days rest on Sun will help. If weather is good then I'll be there, but probably only 50% of me will be there as the rest will still be sleeping :-\
-
latest weather update. from windguru.cz. There will be about 0.9mm of rain from 1600 but over a 6 hour period. Which basically means none!
However, temps are looking high--peaking at 23 degrees!! Forecast says lots of cloud ---suggesting hot and muggy.
This means taking on lots of water, slowly and steadily. Also dont bring loads of stuff. Water, mobile, money and a spare tee id advice.
-
and broken in springs, lol well i need to do that, lol

Back on topic for a moment Have we arranged a meet up place and what time (is anyone getting there early )
Also I have a few people sponsering me all on the paper forms do I note this somewhere on the WfL web site (I'm a bit thick about some sites :biggrin:) or just bring the forms on the day/send them in after with the money (looks bad on the site on £0.00 and a fair bit on paper )
Clive and I are thinking about driving up as parking is free on the Sunday so we might get there early
Jason :Hoofies2:
-
re money dont worry fund raising goes on weeks after
the southern contingent is getting into waterloo 'around' 10 ( several lines west, south west and southern) should be setting off for the field by 1015. Id expect to be there about 1030 or a lil after. Meet south east side of field.
Weather looking much better ( ie no rain)
-
Bring sponsorship form and leave money at home and send it in later. Im getting into london bridge for 10.00am, so i can meet people there if they want. Waterloo station by the way is a long way off, its about a 30 to 45 minutes away from Potters feild park. So i suggest people make their way to London bridge instead as its only 5 minutes away. jelly x
-
OK we be there 11 ;D
-
Thanks Jelly see you at potters field
Jason :Hoofies2:

Hi Jason
Any chance you could bring 2 sets of Hoofies to the Walk tomorrow, (will give you money then) sorry to leave this request so late if you can't dont worry.
Looking forward to Bocking with you all.

Got home at 10pm and after 16 hours of wearing those Cyberlox I finally took them out, OMG the pain relief was INCREDIBLE :o :o :o :o don't know if I'd wear them again for bocking as it restricted bouncing around somewhat. Blister count = 2 which is better than I thought it'd be! I had great fun and was glad I decided to come along despite being still knackered from the past week. Glad weather stayed good, I'm still digesting that pizza!!!! Don't want to go to work today just want to sleep, waaaaaa :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( next year if it's not too warm Dr Smith may Ghostbust the whole 10k :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Gixer is making a good point about what you should/shouldn't wear ?
You may look fantastic off bocks but put a pair on and the bounce can pull and swing the out-fit about. No good dressing up as a pimp with big gold chains on you'd only end up hitting yourself in the face, wearing something more tight fitting works best ? That's why "Super Hereos" wear it !?

Even capes work well !
Or you could go baggy ( nice shorts Becky ) ?

I got one sponser and feel bad that I couldn't make it :(

I don't want to go to lectures today, I just wanna sleep! :(

Wish I could have stayed for the Leicester Square bouncing :( Did anyone throw pizza up ;D ;D ;D :D :D

no, but a ver strange man offered us money to do just that :o
-
Yeah he said "I got a friend who runs this business, and I see you and I see these ideas forming in my mind, but I'm just a man so I only think with this bit of my brain, where as you must think with your entire brain."
Turns out he wanted us to do some advertising for some online hostel booking service, he just went about asking in a really long, really confusing way... And said Athoul was 12! :D
-
And said Athoul was 12! :D
What!! He thought Athoul was older than you. :P

I real enjoyed CB in London last year I'd not been to London for years. :)
Maybe a TB (Tourist Bock ) would be a nice change to a normal bock meet !? I mean moving around more, and stop to take in the sights, draw a croud then leave ;D
We don't have to run to get around faster than walkers ( poor ground crew ) and would show people bocking it a great fun way to get round. We could even beat rush hour traffic LOL
-
That sounds like an idea! I could be the guide as i have learnt lots about london working for the London eye, doing the eye and river cruises. jelly x

Never been on either, any chance of discount tickets :-* ;) ;D

Anyone thought of challenging topgear?? them versus a bocker in rush hour traffic!!
-
yep brucie and Kiola did some filming with them last Jan and Hammond did somat with them --comparing to other kit --was nice viewing I have to tell you.
yep Jelly, walk for life was good at 10K . But if we think bit shorter maybe ( 6-7 K) with better bock spots. with the end at a place we can eat. That would seem spot on. it would also be a 'little' substitute for the few who want to,but cant make CB in Cardiff.

Doing it 2 or 3 weeks later than CB would mean that what stopped them may be fine then ( Holiday, illness, cash !? etc ). :)

Quite, tho there may be a bit of an event 2 eks after CB that peeps may be interested in. Rancher was looking into it. I havnt seen him in weeks d'oh. Hopefully I can have a quick chat to him next week about it. Not really being secrative ( its been mentioned b4) but I dunno if its gona take off yet
