h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

After my unexpected brush with melanoma late last year I've decided to do get off my posterior and do something, so I have signed up to do a charity walk in aid of Cancer research. On July 25th to July 27th I will be walking part of the Kerry Way in south-west Ireland. The views and photos should be spectacular. I'm looking forward to it.

If you would like to donate, no matter how small the amount, you can do so online here at http://tinyurl.com/44ndgw

Going walking's a thing I do all the time, but I am sad to walk the mountains without you.

If I can survive the Kerry Way, it's something I would be happy to do sometime. There's something magical about the Kerry mountains.

A family friends neice has just gone through the same as you Woodpigeon,she is having a little more removed next week,just to make sure,but then should have the all clear.She was on holiday with us last year,and she's only 11.Ihope your walk goes well,

Sorry, my mind was elsewhere when I made that last post - seriously though, good luck with it - let's hope you hit the target!

Thanks a lot Smurfles and KB - I can only imagine the shock of the parents (and the child) when it was discovered, and fingers crossed that it will never be heard of again.

Weirdly, I can't get the tinyurl to work from my home PC - the one I'd be able to sponsor you on. I can get it to work from my work PC, but I can't sponsor you from there.

Do you have an un-tinyurl link I could use?

I can get the link to work- just would like to confirm that there'd be no problem with a non-European VISA payment?

Hi all,

No prob! The URL is

http://www.mycharity.ie/event/kerry_way_colm_ryan/

And you should be able to use a non-european VISA. I've had one or two donations already from the USA.

Many thanks!

I thought I'd draw a little bit of attention to this, for the benefit of anyone who hasn't got round to it yet, but intended to.

Thanks KB -

Done, good luck!

Terrific! Thanks a lot!
