I'll be properly envious if they see a shark. Dan and I never saw a hint of one, despite my very best efforts to chum with leftover freeze-dried food.

If you would like Pedro to have enough money to buy food/drugs/piratical equipment for the trip, you can now all help out by buying ticketsfor a raffle to be drawn at the Bonfire Party (fabulous and edible prizes)... or by sponsoring a mile or ten on the website www.onemillionstrokes.org.uk. Shameless plug over.

Where do we get tickets for the raffle? Also, I have a sword I can lend him for piracy purposes?

79% of us reckon they'll complete the crossing, yet only 26% think they'll get over halfway. Is there some kind of wormhole involved? And if so, please can BPBC borrow it for Fairbairns?

You're most welcome to it, but do make sure you pay for it using the Lard system, "if not it's stealing..."
