    Had a lovely 4.5 mile walk round Sidcup / Avery Hill / New Eltham with one of my boys. Was good to see a few other Charlton shirts out and about
  • Didn’t see a single CAFC shirt on my 4 mile walk this afternoon 🤔

    Have just finished my trundle around the streets of Sidcup and Albany Park. Actually did in excess of 8km but my phone died half way round

    It’s a shame though as there is a core of about 30 of us off here who have done most of these walks together. We walk along, have a catch up, put the world to rights and have a good giggle  

    I really missed not doing it this year with our little CL family, hopefully we can get back in the groove next year.

    I think I know where you went wrong, your 1st mile took you to Chorlton, not Charlton.

    All done here in Hertfordshire, really missed chatting with fellow Addicks on the way round this year but look forward to next year and all the best to the Upbeats.

    What strikes me is the difference in weather from over the years. Middle picture was today. Did about 5 miles in a Sidcup Park loop. Goats Field, Willersley Park, Marlborough Park, Lamorbey Park and The Hollies.

    We did 5 miles around Sidcup/Bexley, as @AFKABartram said, it was a shame to not catch up with old friends and chew the fat on the walk but at least there’s been plenty of money raised.

    Did a couple of miles this morning around Lesness Abbey woods with the dog. Did miss the usual chat on the way to the ground with TCE, and 3 Blokes amongst many others normally bump in to.

    Lovely walk Blackheath to Oxleas Wood via Woolwich Common - 12k. shame we weren't together but it is wonderful we have raised nearly £20k 
  • Reckon my wife and I walked around 3.5 miles this morning including a section around Woking golf course. Will make a donation tomorrow but last  time I looked so far around £19k has been raised. Great effort.

    Just donated, and will be dragging the kids out to walk countless lengths of my 120 yard long road until we reach a mile!
    If you don’t count the lengths of your road you walk how will you know you’ve reached a mile ?
    Garmin watch  :)

    Did about 3 miles with one of my Borders late yesterday afternoon. A very pleasant walk round the villages country lanes and plenty of wildlife out and about too. Very happy to support The Upbeats.

    I'd be interested now that I have put your face on a picture.  I sent you the addidas charlton t shirt for the Wembley day out.

     I asked you twice if you had received it and you ignored my questions three times.  Fascinating considering you are the head of a world famous charity.  
    So sorry! Sending you a PM

    Just seen the map posted by 'Mrdick'.
    I live a 3 minuet walk from Cray Meadows, so at the two and half kilometer mark our paths would have crossed.
    Pity i didn't  meet him.

    We did 2.5 miles around Holborough Lakes where we live. Wife and kids with me.
    not the same without a bit of Addicks chat but all for a good cause.

    special mention to my father who was at around £1600 raised by himself for walking around his garden in full golf regalia. At 71 years of age he makes me so proud and I can’t wait to watch the Addicks with him once again when this shit is all over!

    I didn’t think you were allowed within 200 metres of a park?
