THE RALEIGH HALF AND 10 K FUN RUN
STARTING POINT CHAMUNDI HILL ON
FRIDAY 7th MAY @ 5.45am
Ok it just keeps getting better here at field base. We have planned a half marathon and a 10k race at the end of expedition. We want to make sure that all participants REALLY deserve their party. Everyone is very excited about this race and although the words "fun" have been used I can tell you that competition is fierce out here in India.
Please rest assured we shall be leaving as soon as it's light to avoid the heat and there will be plenty of water stops along the way from our field base marshalls. Also every person is running with a buddy.
In the true spirit of Raleigh we are fundraising from this event. You are by now hopefully behind us as a charity and have witnessed all the good work that we do first hand so I will just say that if you would like to make a donation then we would be more than grateful, if not on this occassion then we would like to thank you for all your support to date.
You can donate in the usual way by visiting the Just Giving website.
We have set ourselves a target of £500 so we will let you know how we get on and we will give you a daily update on how preparation for the race is going and how much we have raised. It is going to be BIG!

ReplyDeleteHi Sweetie
Well what can i say apart from good luck in the 10k and well done, it is hard to think that when you were younger you were constantly trying to get out of doing Phys Ed and always asking for a note to be excused,not that you got one ha ha.
Nan and Gramps are here for the weekend, and Gramps is planning the new dolls house for baby Wilson, although Joe was begging Amanda to ask him if he would still build a fort and she said yes as long as it is pink and has lights!!
The weather has definatly changed this weekend and has been drizzly and quite windy.
Well you are into your final week and i know you will be sad to leave India but i will be so pleased when you are at home so i can give you lots of mummybear cuddles.
Try and let me know approx time of arrival in uk and enjoy the 10k.
Take Care love you always.

ReplyDeleteHa bikkel, wat dacht je, even die extra pondjes eraf! Hoop wel dat het veel fun is in die hitte en weinig echte run. Goed hoor, om zo nog wat extra 'binnen te halen' voor een goed doel. Doe voorzichtig en laat de soigneurs liters water meenemen voor onderweg. Zet 'm op!!

For Richard Miranda Echo4
ReplyDelete10K - Oh my, can't help but wonder what you will be running in as I can only remember one pair of walking boots and one pair of flip-flops going with you. No surprise to see that you are finding reading material out there, I remember more books than shoes being packed - 10K!. Did you received the blog from Vanessa, (she has been called back for second trials for the University World Games. They will select only three riders from four group trials of 16, so she is very pleased to be through to the second round). I would like you to make contact, in order to let me know what your plans are between leaving Raleigh and returning home in August. I hope you are keeping an eye on to the news coming from Thailand - let me know if you would like me to try and change your flight there to a different destination, as I am more than willing to pay the difference! Well, have a great last week - you will need to place an update on your facebook page, all your friends, especially ex flat mates, are eager to know what you are up to! Keep well, eat plenty! - Love Mum
Lucy Travis Charlie 2
ReplyDeleteUpdate on Charlie 2 today but sadly no photos. Wonder if you were all in downtown Oooty. Yet no email or call from there either. Perhaps you've been too busy writing letters to make up for all the ones lost in the post!
Update: Chris not been well this week and was off sick for couple of days. So having a quiet weekend (no doubt worrying about ManU losing their Premiership title to Chelski but he'll be playing golf with his bosses on Bank Holiday Monday!). Anna is flying a plane this weekend for the first time .. well that's the plan but weather is pretty miserable so might not happen. As for us .. our lives determined by daily RUH hospital visits to see G'dad (who is doing as well as possible), visits from the electrician, builder and plumber plus wading through the daily avalanche of election leaflets as Annunziata Rees-Mogg battles to win this LibDem marginal for the Tories. Gordon seems to have lost the Election for Labour. Anyway we're not letting it get us down and so are off to the Fat Duck on election day 'to live, drink and be merry ....'.
Hope you're having a great time still, enjoying this third phase .. does sound like Charlie 2 has achieved some mightily impressive outcomes.
Looking forward to news on your plans ...
Take care!

Hi Paula (Echo 4)
ReplyDeleteThere has been some news overnight that a car bomb has been discovered in Times Square. There has been no major explosion although there are conflicting reports of smaller ones. No one hurt. The people who have the hot dog stands were evacuated to the Marriott Marquis for a few hours - not bad eh?! Anyway the Doubletree and the cookies are still safe.
Your dad will be calling in later when he goes to the match - last home game against Man U.
Good luck for your run - that truly amazes me - this is the girl who broke her leg to get out of PE.

When Great Britain had an Empire, India was known as the jewel in the crown. I think you are the jewel in our crown! See you soon

Just to let you know that I got the details of your changed flight and we will both be there to pick you up from LHR on 25th.

Message for Rosie Mellor
ReplyDeleteHi Rosie - have you not had enough punishment already?!?!?!?!? Good luck for the 10k run - you put me to shame! I can hardly walk up a hill without getting out of breath! Mum said you're going to be travelling - wow! Take care, Jody xxx
Dear Benn,
ReplyDeleteWere home and a bit shattered. Left Washington DC in 85F + degrees and arrived Heathrow 50F odd and pouring with rain. Mum had a great time as shown by the two xtra suitcases and golf clubs coming afterwards. It is a great place to visit like London lots to see. I can,t quite remember what i did over 3 weeks ago but the trip went well but much to do in office. Bar Mit Zah was great fun with Browns though we ate far too much. Both H and R have been on phone and both seems well. Saw your B'day wish to R which i bet he never acknowledged. Bank Holiday tomorrow thank goodness as we need day to recover before going back to office. Meant to be playing Golf in comp with Bg J !!. Have read all blogs and seen videos so it has been an active time for all. Your pictures show i am still slightly heavier than you. Gained a few pounds on this trip unfortunately. Grandma with Dee in Tenerife. Will be in touch over travel plans later in week. Take care all seems well here keep healthy and enjoy. Love M and D
hi euan,have fun this last week.look forward to see you soon.at least you will all be fighting fit for the marathon!lots of love and luck to you all,mum,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ReplyDeleteOk 10k i will only say this once "second place is the first loser" coolio do your stuff lil sis super proud of ya even tho you must be slightly more mental than before you left to run 10k in that heat. Glad you got the message about baby girl she is a whopping 16.5cm long now and had all her fingers and i saw the 4 chambers in her heart. She was chilling again with her arms behind her head and kicking her lil legs about and then rolled over and stuck her bum in the air to let us know she was a girl lol cannot take ya kids anywhere lol. Iv kept all the scan pictures and reports to show you when ya get home so you can see her
Lots of love Manda Panda,Joseph and Esme (cute)
Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear you this morning. Why are you not having a go at the 10K, bet you could do it. I will pledge £50 to raleigh if you do !!!!
I bet you are looking forward to a soak, massage and a proper bed. I'm sure you will appreciate everything you are lucky enough to have when you get home.
We have a busy few weekends ahead which should keep us going until you get back - can't wait to see you.
Love you heaps,

Message for Paula Brocki
ReplyDeleteHi Sweetheart
Received all your emails this morning and i cant wait to see you either and so many cuddles to give you because i have missed you so much and a huge roast dinner of course.
Walking or running doesnt matter just enjoy it and am sure your final week in Incredible India will be full of fun,laughter and sad goodbyes to many new friends you have met on the project and am sure you will keep in touch on your return. The experience is one which will stay with you for the rest of your life and the amazing time you have had and achievements by all and am sure you will be very sad to leave it behind but i would like to give my baby girl some cuddles so India has to share you ha ha.
Nan and Grandad have gone home today bless them they have helped a lot getting odds and sods done. Amanda rang this morning and said she had received a message on facebook and said about the trousers you had to throw away due to the pesky leech!! So all that remains to say is have a fantastic final week and enjoy, take care of yourself and see you soon.Love you always.

ReplyDeleteHi Sophie,
Am surprised your name is not down as one of the runners. Saw you win the tug of war. Well done.
Oxford was very beautiful on Saturday in the spring sunshine. I spent some time in Balliol and then at Campion Hall looking at GM Hopkins manuscripts and drawings. Have now got an autographed copy of Simon;s book. Am hoping to drag D to a film this pm once he has finished his latest essay.
Much love, M , D and Tiger.
Hi David, well 10k in the heat....good for you. I will make my pledge for you and all the other mad runners! We are all proud of you back here. Laura and Fran were asking after you. Peter is back in the UK and is expecetd back here on Friday. We have had a quiet bank holiday at home doing the mundane stuff. It has turned cold here again. We hope to hear from you soon and see some pictures of you soon. Keep well and safe; and good luck for the 10k. Lots of love Mum and Dave xx
ReplyDeleteFor Richard Miranda Echo 4
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to end the expedition, I will be rooting for you so make sure you win, PLEASE do it in your flip-flops, that would be amazing.
Do you know that they are now advising against non-essential travel to anywhere in Thailand, not just Bangkok but the whole country. Please please be careful and think very hard about what you are going to do and what I said about staying alive.
I have moved to PR now and it is great, possibly the thing I have enjoyed most so far. Weather is mental - today I got hailed on, rained on, then the sun came out, all before I reached the end of my road.
Have a great last week and make sure you end it with a sweet victory on Fri!
Anna xxxxx
Hi Annie
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you at the weekend. Its been Bank Holiday here so Dad and I have been out and about. Saw a film by the bend it like beckham director called its a wonderful aferlife - set in the Indian community in London its a black comedy that includes lots of Indian food and music and has a Bollywood star in it. HAd to follow this by supper at Sollys ! where we met Diane and Jon and theya re also planning to visit India this Xmas - must be THE place to go!
Hope you are training for the run....if you decide to do it , good thing I sent your running shoes hey
Lots of love

Hello Fieldbase,
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you could pass on this message to Louise Carter Echo 5?
Could you please let her know that I have completed UCAS for her, I have changed her flights, extended her insurance and changed her appointment from 11th may to 21st may!
Could you please ask her to let me know that she has received this message and ask her if there is anything else I need to do?
Thank you for all your help, we really do appreciate it.
Best Wishes
Jane (Louise's Mum)
Message for Louise Carter's Mum,
ReplyDeleteRoger that, we'll pass this info on to Louise this evening (4/5/10) during the comms check. The Venturers return on Thursday so it's likely she'll reply personally when she gets back to Field Base but it may be that Louise acknowledges your message via the FieldBase team before then.
Not long until they all get back! I'd best get my marigolds on and get scrubbing!
Kevin
Thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes
Jane, Louise's mum

ReplyDeleteHello there -- Lisa here. Just seen that you are about to do a 10k run later this week. Funny 'cos last night (or the night before) I dreamed that I was going to do a run... which I know I am not, but glad that you have taken over in reality. Yes, I am very tired so this might be incoherent -- overworked as is usual at this time of the year. Haven't seen Amy at all but maybe I will call her tomorrow and try and have coffee or lunch. Miss you lots, Auntie Lxxxxx

ReplyDeleteHey Dunk,
Thought you might be running the 10k... are you getting slack in your old age? We're looking forward to seeing you on Sunday although the ash cloud is rearing again - we'll keep our fingers crossed.
Love

Dear Benn,
ReplyDeleteTalking to Plant Lipids tomorrow. Going to suggest you chill out with them first. Whilst there you can arrange sightseeing trip ( they are the experts ). What day are you free to travel to them ? All well. Not surprised you are not running - far to sensible !! All well take care love dad.
Hi Kate, I was on a field trip today so I could not talk to you on Facebook! Same field trip tomorrow and Friday, great fun! Not! Of course you can have a toasted cheese sandwich, do you paneer or cheddar? We were going to have a curry, lol! I was going to bring your phone to the airport anyway - I have been starting work at 8.30 so that I can have the time off on Monday. Can't wait to see you. Lots and lots of love Mum, Dad and VEG xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ReplyDeleteMer ouwe gek! Wat heb je je nou weer op de hals gehaald? Ik heb op dit moment zo'n slechte conditie dat ik al moe word als ik er alleen al aan denk een paar kilometers te gaan rennen. Wel heel vet dat je het doet. Mijn hersens daarentegen werken op voelen toeren, want de eerste examens komen wel erg dichtbij nu. Ik moest van mama nog zeggen dat je water over je hoofd heen moet gieten als je het warm hebt, haha! Hou je taai nog even en tot zaterdag!!! Xxxxx love you

ReplyDeleteHi Kiki,
I expect tomorrow is the day you'll be back at Fieldbase having had a couple of days R&R. I'm sure you needed it! No photos yet of the 2 groups of Trekkers yet so have been keeping myself involved by viewing previous trekking groups, trying to imagine where you might be and what you might be seeing. Your letter still hasn't arrived and the volcano has been causing more problems so I expect you might be back before your letter! I sent one 3 weeks ago & posted it during the "ash" crisis so expect that may also be caught up in the backlog. Anyway, looking forward to hearing from you if you get the chance & will be monitoring the site for photos of the final get2ge! Mxxxx
Benn,
ReplyDeleteSpoke to John at Plant Lipids. He has given me his mobile # which i shall pass onto you on next occasion. So plan A is when you are ready to leave Raleigh Int call him and he will tell you best means to get to him. Stay there to chill,see his company and at same time you/he will organise where to go/what to see before returning home. He is best one to advise you and you can suggest pace you wish to go at. Should work out fine. We can call you/txt or email details whichever is best. Election day tomorrow where is your form ? Looks like Hung parliament at moment. Mum going to pop down to see Rory tomorrow and Hannah coming home for week on monday. Otherwise all well. Trust final days are great fun with you. Take Care Luv Dad & Mum
Hi Harriet (Jones)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your final few days in India (for the time being anyway - I'm sure you'll return). Hope that your community phase was wonderful and that you left your mark somehow somewhere someway.
Maybe hear from you soon, but if not, we'll see you at Heathrow Sunday. How could 10 weeks go so fast?
Love you lots and looking forward to seeing the new you!

To Lauren ( the laugh ) Pegg now in Broadsword or was it Danny Boy?
ReplyDeleteYou almost pulled it off kid but not quite.
The video of the village fete. You had to be there but all we see is a glimpse of a dress or in the background chatting up to lads. But you dropped your guard at the throw a sponge booth.
You LAUGHED!! Gave the game away instantly.
Interstingly no more blogs since you have returned from the stroll in the park with you in them anyway.
It is election day here and the nation expects with bated breath, the outcome of the final countdown.
Tottenham beat Man City last night so will qualify in 4th place in the league and will play in Europe next year. Jack will be cock a hoop! Hannah will not hear the end of this.
The garden looks nice.
Grandma was out there for 8 hours yesterday burying next doors cat. It would not keep still!
I had a tinge of missing you last week for about 3 seconds but thank goodness it passed quickly and I was able to safely return to filing my nails Phew!
Keep me posted about the end of Raleigh and what Lauren does next.
No use trying your mother, she and the Bombay Sapphire are back on intimate terms I am sad to report.
Your sister will be here tonight voting for the Boston Tea Party. "Free Earl Grey for all 5 year olds" is their campaign slogan.
Sounds like a winner to me.
Seems like all others have forsaken you. I have not.
I am still in your corner.
Enjoy your remaining days in the Raj. Make sure you try a hot curry, you know I would.
My thanks to all the Field Base Team for what they have done for all the Raleigh Expeditioneers.
They had their minute in the spotlight last week with their video.
You chaps do a good job but the Oscars will not be calling anytime soon so do NOT give up the day job.Laughing whilst typing Now that is what you are good at. The day job not typing.
Out of curiosity, what was the oddest injury the doctor had deal with or the strangest situation anybody got themselves into?
No names, I do not work for a tabloid.
Keep up the good work it is much appreciated back here.
Must dash, meeting the Japanese Culture Minister for some sushi at 12.30.
Be good kid and speak soon.

Hello Fieldbase - could you pls forward this message for Alistair Muir?
ReplyDeleteAlistair - Louise's Mum Jane raises a good point (thanks Jane!) - you need to extend your insurance cover for your extra week - or if you need me to do so, please let me know... probably best to extend the policy you have already, rather than buy a whole new one, so pls give me the policy number and the company name/website to call?
Good luck in the run - I walked 10k yesterday in Maidstone temperatures and feel like a wet J-cloth today. The thought of running it at all, let alone there, horrifies me. Get a tuktuk, is my advice. Lots of love - Dad x
Thank you fieldbase!

Hope the 10k goes well not sure when it is taking place or whether it has but enjoy.
Well tonights the night and we will know what has happened in the elections.Amanda said she received some text from you and sounds as though you are enjoying a spot of retail therapy.Make sure you have something warm on for your arrival at Heathrow as the weather has changed this week and supposed to be cold at the weekend and you will definatly feel the difference.
Cant wait for you to be home even though i have a sneaky feeling it may not be for long and you will be looking for other adventures.
Once again say thank you to all the Raleigh Fieldbase Team for looking after you and keeping you all safe and the great work done.
I will blog tomorrow night so take care and see you soon. Love you always.

ReplyDeleteHa Lieve Meer,
Sneu voor je dat je mobiel weg is. Maak je geen zorgen, want communiceren doen we binnenkort weer lekker live!! Doe ook geen moeite om ons te bereiken: je hebt alles zo goed aangepakt en doorstaan. Zorg wel dat je telefoonnummers bij de hand hebt van deze of gene, voor het geval je de groep kwijt raakt onderweg naar of op het vliegveld. Maar ja als je in de jungle de weg weet te vinden, dan moet het in de bewoonde wereld zéker lukken, toch?
Als je dit leest heb je de allerlaatste uitdaging doorstaan. Hoop dat je nog in staat bent om je rugzak te pakken en op je rug te hijsen? Ik vind het wel weer een typische “Merel-op-haar-best actie”. We tellen af: nog 3 nachtjes!!
We houden de mail in de gaten, mocht je nog in de gelegenheid zijn probeer dan te sms’en dan kun je nog een berichtje terug verwachten.
Misschien toch handig om ons het mobiele nummer van Pien te mailen/ sms’en. Voor het geval dat. Wij houden hier wel bij via teletext of jouw toestel vertraging heeft.
Tutti, tot ZONDAG!! Kus, MAM

Well done on the trek my sweet, what an achievement eh. Spoke to Mummy yesterday and she updated me on what you are up to next....including the fab night in a spa hotel... well deserved! Have a great couple of weeks exploring Kerala, we are missing you lots and can't wait to see you in June.
We are off to the US and Canada next week and are v excited although the situation with the volcano is always in the back of minds. Ian says that if the ash cloud prevents us from flying, we will spend our 3 weeks in the Virgin Clubhouse at Heathrow instead!
Well take care Lolly, have lots of fun and enjoy!! Lots of love, hugs and kisses JJ & Ian xxxx

Have sent you a couple of texts and an e.mail but if your phone isn`t working properly or you haven`t been on the internet you must be wondering whats happening! This blog has been marvellous for keeping in touch.
Last I heard Emz was waiting in departures at Gatwick and will be with you soon - Whoo hoo! She`s booked into the Mass Residency tonight and your both booked in for tomorrow night.
Hope you enjoy your last couple of days with Raleigh and are having a good rest after the trek! Enjoy the rest of your travels around India!
Speak to you soon.
With love from us all.
Mam xx
p.s. All the best and thank you to all at Raleigh International and good luck to all the venturers for the future.
Pegg, your dad's right, I have been earbashed by jack constantly about 'champions league' and '4th spot'. I think there's a mug of some kind involved? Democracy has fallen without you - parliament is in disarray and there are riots on the streets. (All true except for the riots bit) Genuine confusion abound - they are talking about coalitions and well hung politicians. Come home and sort it. It was your missing vote that caused this madness. Good luck x
