The Photoshoot

We’ve decided to push on with getting the publicity for the main event underway. We’ve come up with several ideas for posters, leaflets, and business cards. Our final poster design is available here on the blog for you to print off and pin up to help us raise even more awareness of what we are doing. It’s down the right hand side of the page, you can’t miss it.

The venue for most of the design work was the pub across the road from our office (what better place could there be eh?) Well maybe Alan would suggest the river bank so that he could get some fishing in at the same time. Simon would no doubt suggest a poker night at his place with a spot of Nintendo Wii for good measure to see with that gets the creative juices flowing (not all too sure how it would though). Where as I would definitely suggest an evening down Headingley Stadium watching the Rhinos thrash somebody and then discuss poster ideas after. To keep everyone happy though, we’ll stick with the pub idea. I think at some point everyone has sat in the pub putting the world to rights in one subject or another so to come up with some good ideas what better place to head for?

We decided that we needed pictures to go on the posters so we ventured out, in full uniform for the first time, to Bolton Abbey. On a day when the weather couldn’t have turned out any better, we arrived at Bardon Tower and disguised ourselves as rough, tough centurions. (Well maybe not.) Much to the amusement and surprise of several families, we walked up the hill to where we thought would be the best setting for the pictures. Several cars nearly crashed as their owners rounded corners to see three centurions walking up the road towards them.
Warren Davies, the photographer we had managed to convince to help, must have wanted to hide! You can view his work at www.warrendaviesphotography.co.uk
A big thanks to him for his time.

Next update will be coming soon as we want to fit plenty more practice walks in, including a 2 day back to back walk to try and get used to walking a longer distance over consecutive days. We are also trying to drum up some interest in the papers, TV, Radio and online so keep an eye/ear open for us!

Keep your support coming! Thanks
