After much deliberation the Cotswold Way Walker team has been selected. Up front and Captain, Geoff 'Geresy' Morgan, his wingmen Mark 'Bailey' Fowler and Andrew 'Kingy' King, the midfield marshalled by Keith 'KP' Patten with Colin 'Naglelator' Nagle and Matt 'Jelly' Eyles. The back four Mark 'Shearer' Edwards, Nick 'Barbs' Barber, Dan 'Oz' Senior and Robbie 'Jonesy' Jones and, in goal, Chris 'Sketch' Sketchley. We also have the hostess with the mostest, her with the soft hands and magic sponge, Emma 'Ems' Sawyer. The team is passionately coached and support by Steve 'Box' Boxall and his boss, Heather 'H' Boxall.
We asked captain Geresy what he thought about the team selection, he said "Well the team sort of picked itself, there's a few fat lads in that give me concern but what they'll lack in pace, they'll make up for in drinking ability. The brains of the team wasn't available so I had to agree the walking route with Kingy & Bailey! We're looking to walk about 3.5 miles per hour to reach Bath on the Thursday afternoon."
Leg 1 PM Monday 19th July- Chipping Campden to Cleeve Hill - 23.5 miles
Leg 2 Tuesday 20th July - Cleeve Hill to Kings Stanley - 32.3 miles
Leg 3 Wednesday 21st July - Kings Stanley to Tormarton - 29.5 miles

It started with just one man and his dog, it's now 11 men and a lady, dog not allowed cos his mum said so. On the 19th July this intrepid bunch will attempt to walk the 103 mile Costwold Way in under three and a half days. Each member of the team will be recording their own stories of their training, their highs & lows and updates during the walk itself. If you'd like to sponsor one of us please select the charity from our 'Links' section.
