It seemed a good idea at the time – and a long way off. A few light ales and talking like pirates, myself and Fatlaz (Ben) decided on a road trip to Greece to go diving where I used to work in Kefalonia. A sad day occurred last week and all this changed. I only met Chris Hall once, but that was enough to show me that he was a true gentleman – not many of those around these days.
So plans have changed and this is übershort notice I know, we have already raised a small pirates fortune for Motor Neurone Disease Research without even getting into the water – so the plan is an 1800 mile UK road trip. It will be a pirate theme all the way (hence the swashbuckling). The below dates and places are where we shall come to pillage and lighten your pockets for pieces o eight and golden nuggets.
