Walking though the pain
No snow in Aviemore

It’s the punishing schedule that’s causing most of the problems. Averaging 18 miles per day with only occasional rest days, Nigel Lewis-Baker, our terminally diagnosed walking miracle and Charlie Carr are exhausted at the end of each day with little energy or time left for fundraising or twitter and awareness activities.
That’s why they desperately need help. People who can give up a couple of hours in each town collecting donations and distributing leaflets before they arrive and after they've gone – all to give men a better chance of beating prostate cancer.
They need the media to help them out too, with interviews and local press reports as they travel down through the country.
"We are doing our best to stir up interest but often journalists want a local human interest story to get involved," explained a spokesman.
"In Scotland, Alan walked on through his pain for far too long and was in serious trouble with deep blisters and a bad toe infection. His injuries will take some time to heal so for the moment he is a vital addition too the support team.
"600 miles to go and arriving in Ripon, they are entering areas where we are hoping for more support. Please help them in any way you can even if it’s just a message of support on our facebook or twitter pages.
"We’ve added donating by text. Just text UGXF50 and the amount to 70070."
