Morning. Im doing this one for Leukaemia and Lymphoma research. I know its only a half and Im not promising to pour water over my head (though I probably will) but if anyone could see there way clear to bunging a bit of money to this cause Id be extremely grateful. My nephew has just finally been given the all clear after a five year battle with leukaemia (I am having my own battle spelling leukaemia) which he was diagnosed with when he was 5. This lot are doing great work trying to find a cure. So please help if you can. https://www.justgiving.com/Graeme-Nash1Thanks

Batch - Usual route is around chippenham.
From lowden, up the path past St Marys school, straight over bath road in to charter road, through over avenue la fleche to the back of town left at where diggers used to be right past the rosie up london road to the roundabout right at the top, back into pewsham through the centre, round webbington road back to the roundabout at the top of avenue la fleche.
Down the butts to baydons lane over the bridge into the monkton park estate, round to the cycle path, up the little path to cocklebury lane, hill corner road, up malmesbury road left into hardenhuish lane, down onto hungerdown lane, right at the kingfisher, around the queens crescent area a bit, back out to hungerdown lane to the pheasant, down bath road back into lowden.
Thats about 10 miles. When Ive done thirteeen Ive gone over the bridge over the ring road and along the lanes to corsham and back or just gone from home to calne along the cycle path and back.

Cool. Thanks for that, looking for a few alternatives of around 10 miles so I'll work out where that all is ( work backs on to Hill Corner Road).

Let us know how you do. I see you're quite close to your target now - hope you get a few more sponsors through before tomorrow.

Done it Chip time was 1hr 52 02, which will do. First 10 went swimmingly. Miles 11 and 12 were horrible. Mile 13 is thankfully down hill
