underdog Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 How many miles is the Night Walk? Route? can you please let me know. I will TRY to help IF POSSIBLE as likely just up road in Sheffield. Hiya Hallam, I know Latics Lee is main contact for this but he is sunning himself in sunny Portugal until next week. I believe the route is just over 36 miles and we set off from Bramall lane about 19.00hrs on the friday night, the route takes us via the snake pass and into glossop. ETA at BP for about mid-day, the day of the match. I think Lee is organising a mini-bus/van to be with us as we will need plenty of water along the way and we are planning a couple of breaks to. The bus/wan is also there in case someone need a rest or me, oxygen. I am hoping to grab Lee sometime next week with regards to sponsorship and how "we" can all pull it together, whether we have one form to do it on, or a website like "just giving" for our cause/future fundraising. However, you don't have to do this specifically for the playershare. If you or any other fan have a cause close to your heart then please, use this event to raise the money. I think Jacko/Jez is doing this and my other half is "umming and arring" whether to do it for help the heroes. I think there is about 16 of us on board at the mo Hopefully, Latics Lee will expand a bit more on it, however I think he is trying to kill me by getting me involved...hmmmm... anything else, just throw me a line any time T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire those intending to undertake this walk, but have serious doubts about the safety of walking the Snake Pass in the dark, even with escort vehicles. This is what it looks like in the daytime: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdog Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 I don't have many answers to your question chaps yet, I am going to grab Lee at some point,, maybe at the race night next Saturday to discuss thoroughly. Before alcohol kicks in too. Yes I don't fancy being road kill on the eve of the season as it would really would mess things up. Safety is paramount and Police/highway people should be informed.

Alec1954 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I recently terminated my membership for personal reasons. 3 Suggestions for you:- I wrote an email tendering my resignation and never received a reply. I suggest that if others drop out that the hand of friendship is extended by the committee to find out why. I have made this suggestion at least twice and I think that it really cojuld bear fruit. Challenge every current member to find one other member. Have this challenge say every three years. If you have 100 members, over 10 years you could be looking at real growth... Have bi-monthly quizzes at pubs in various parts of the Boro - get the landlord to provide free food and sell lottery tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsLee Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hi People, I have seen some of the concerns about the route etc for the walk. The police has confirmed that we can do this walk and it is like cross country. We HAVE to walk around about 6 feet away from the road and everyone will have a tourch and high visable vest which was advisable from the police. Hallam please contact me regarding what you mentioned with help as we need as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiya Alex, I am sorry to hear you have cancelled, but must admit in the current climate it's getting hard for us as a family too. I am quite new to the committee but I am quite keen that every fan who contacts us should be given feedback. So I will stick it on the agenda with regards to methods of communication, timely response etc. May I ask which email address you sent your resignation too? You can pm me if it is easier. Like the challenge bit, your a member - find a member and the pub quiz across latics friendly pubs has just been suggested by fan up the ladder too (great minds eh) I have had some ideas pm'd me already - thanks everyone, and I have put them on the agenda and will give feedback to all on here etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We HAVE to walk around about 6 feet away from the road and everyone will have a tourch and high visable vest which was advisable from the police. Lee, when you say "like cross country" re the police, do they know you intend to walk the A57 Snake Pass road, because there isn't a distance of 6 feet from the road on which you can walk - see the videos posted above. Some advice from the Highway Code: Organised walks. Large groups of people walking together should use a pavement if available; if one is not, they should keep to the left. Look-outs should be positioned at the front and back of the group, and they should wear fluorescent clothes in daylight and reflective clothes in the dark. At night, the look-out in front should show a white light and the one at the back a red light. People on the outside of large groups should also carry lights and wear reflective clothing. Other advice on night walking I'm full of admiration and doubt. Best of luck and stay safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stitch_KTF Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I'm amused that it would so much as even occur to anybody to consult the police ahead of going for a long walk. In fact if I were to do so, which I wouldn't, I would be stuck for how to broach the subject without sounding like a cocky so and so.
