Hitch Hike

[podder]

hey all, just a bit of promotional work this one!

Im taking part in a sponsered hitch Hike (for charity) from Birmingham to Newquay on june 11th with a bunch of other people. So,

** if any of you are in the area, heading in a certain direction (south) and see people in fancy dress trying to hitch a lift, spare a thought for them and perhaps give them a little lift **

Ps any fancy fress ideas??

Perhaps NOT the Welsh 'only gay in the village' outfit .....

and stay away from mackerel lorries .....

Good luck with the run

Am going down to St Mawgan round about then, but think it's a couple of days earlier. If you see some people being winched into a helicopter from a dinghy, don't worry, that's only us...

What charity?

[podder]

Not to sure what charity to be honest this time. My university society collects it then distributes it ...theres a link to their website etc as i know that sounds a bit dodgy lol

Lots of time to make an ostrich outfit - they're always great for charity
stuff .....

Use, of course, your own legs - with a pair of orange/yellow tights - make
an ostrich 'feathery' body around your waist/hips - make a long neck and
head with beak - rig up a pair of reigns from the beak - hang a pair of
trousered legs from the ostrich body to look as though you are riding it
and Bob's your uncle - No-one can resist putting money in your tin !

The rig is good for Marathons too - but look out for gulls and pigeons

AND -

if you use it in a marathon you'd better be good at the running bit too !

Alltogether the event raised nearly £6000 for chairty. Good times!

13 lifts and a free 3 hr bus ride later we made it to newquay for a few days of fun!
