Despite the awful weather last year I don't think that walkers would have been slowed as much as they would be by extreme heat.</div><div></div><div>I've been back running in the early mornings and the weather couldn't be better for that.</div><div></div><div>In the evening too. I went for a walk with Marie around town last night and we continued the game started by a famous walker and his family a few years ago of trying to work out which of the brisk walkers are training for the Parish Walk.</div><div></div><div>But we met one entrant who was training on ice cream. You may remember Geoff Kinvig (above) being pictured with Robbie Callister and Sean Hands at a feeding station in the End to End Walk a couple of years ago. He has walked to Peel and Ballaugh in the last couple of years and hopes to make it "up North" this year.</div><div></div><div>We took some light refreshment and overheard a barman talking about the Parish Walk to one of the customers. I think he was complaining about the prospect of the roads being blocked somewhere by "thousands" of walkers. The customer asked him when the walk was held and he said: "As far as I know its on Thursday 18 June". </div><div></div><div>He shouldn't have any problems with the roads being blocked then!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-622464687845791773?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-80822663515997712642009-06-02T22:02:00.000+01:002009-06-02T22:03:22.485+01:00Allen<br />Bell<br />Brew<br />Clarke<br />Corlett<br />Cubbon<br />Hughes<br />Martin<br />Roberts<br />Teare<br />Thomas<br />Watterson<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-8082266351599771264?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-29503152038444162832009-06-01T23:23:00.001+01:002009-06-01T23:25:32.377+01:00I have just finished compiling and editing the sixth special feature of the 2009 Clerical Medical Parish Walk website.<br /><br />I am going to wait for the featured walker to confirm that they are happy with the content before I publish it - hopefully tomorrow.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-2950315203844416283?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-60908848340059844312009-06-01T06:33:00.000+01:002009-06-01T06:35:57.526+01:0051<br />Chris<br />Murphy<br />Finisher 2007 and 2008<br /><br />52<br />Janet<br />Allen<br />Finisher 2005 and 2006<br /><br />53<br />Peter<br />Wood<br />Finisher 2002, 2004 and 2006<br /><br />54<br />John<br />Callow<br />Finisher 2005, 2006 and 2008<br /><br />55<br />Anthony<br />Atkinson<br />Fnisher 2006, 2007 and 2008<br /><br />56<br />Jane<br />Crowe<br />Finisher 2007 and 2008<br /><br />57<br />Ernie<br />Radcliffe<br />Finisher 2006, 2007 and 2008<br /><br />58<br />Malcolm<br />Newton<br />Finisher 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2008<br /><br />59<br />Ian<br />Ashcroft<br />Finisher 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007<br /><br />60<br />Peter<br />Bettridge<br />Finisher 2007<br /><br />61<br />Robert<br />Wright<br />Finisher 2006 and 2007<br /><br />62<br />Alex<br />Wijsman<br />Finisher 2008<br /><br />63<br />Richard<br />Spenceley<br />Finisher 2007 &amp;

I hope that you find her story inspiring.<br /><br />Here is another of Bill Dale's photos that I borrowed from Caroline to scan. Its from the 2006 event. Caroline (121) was forced to retire at Bride after finishing the previous year. The sickness that caused her to pull out was later found to be caused by a base of skull tumour.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-6963351987430629039?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-55532260959970313992009-05-23T23:05:00.002+01:002009-05-23T23:05:49.874+01:00David<br />32<br />Paul<br />30<br />John<br />28<br />Mark<br />23<br />Chris<br />23<br />Ian<br />21<br />Andrew<br />21<br />Stephen<br />17<br />Sue<br />16<br />Karen<br />16<br />James<br />16<br />Helen<br />16<br />Peter<br />15<br />Alan<br />15<br />Sarah<br />14<br />Michael<br />14<br />Simon<br />13<br />Joanne<br />12<br />Jane<br />12<br />Caroline<br />12<br />Andy<br />12<br />Robert<br />11<br />Mike<br />11<br />Brian<br />11<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-5553226095997031399?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-17464510153526577042009-05-23T08:41:00.001+01:002009-05-23T08:43:14.425+01:00There are 6 walkers named:<br /><br /><br />Tim<br />Stephanie<br />Rebecca<br />Nicholas<br />Keith<br />Jon<br />Jim<br />Jill<br />Janet<br />Jamie<br />Gill<br />Craig<br />Carol<br /><br />And seven named:<br /><br /><br />Victoria<br />Susan<br />Steve<br />Amanda<br />Angela<br />Matthew<br />Andrea<br />Louise<br />Laura<br />Katie<br />Jo<br />Dave<br />Christopher<br />Charlotte<br /><br />8 of the following:<br /><br /><br />Alison<br />Philip<br />Kevin<br />Kate<br />Julie<br />Colin<br />Ben<br />Anthony<br /><br />9 of each of these:<br /><br /><br />Richard<br />Neil<br />Michelle<br />Emma<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-1746451015352657704?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-9548051045225516922009-05-22T17:29:00.002+01:002009-05-22T17:32:02.613+01:00Although I have fallen slightly behind with my plans to feature one walker a month on the website, I still plan to carry two more special features before the big day.<br /><br />One of them will be published this weekend.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-954805104522551692?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-59024808458857446822009-05-22T06:43:00.003+01:002009-05-22T06:44:59.737+01:00There are three of each of the following in the walk:<br /><br /><br />Yvonne<br />Wendy<br />Annemarie<br />Trevor<br />Tom<br />Terry<br />Tara<br />Steven<br />Daniel<br />Shirley<br />Sheila<br />Shaun<br />Sam<br />Sally<br />Robbie<br />Billy<br />Breeshey<br />Margaret<br />Cheryl<br />Malcolm<br />Lynn<br />Lorna<br />Dean<br />Linda<br />Lesley<br />Les<br />Kirsty<br />Katherine<br />Ann<br />Julia<br />Jennifer<br />Jean<br />Jade<br />Hilary<br />Hazel<br />Hayley<br />Graham<br />Clive<br />Gemma<br />Gavin<br />Gareth<br />Emily<br />Elaine<br /><br />and four of each of these:<br /><br /><br />Zoe<br />Tracy<br />Thomas<br />Suzanne<br />Carolyn<br />Sophie<br />Sean<br />Ruth<br />Rosemary<br />Raymond<br />Ray<br />Bill<br />Nicola<br />Nick<br />Maria<br />Mandy<br />Lynda<br />Lucy<br />Leanne<br />Kelly<br />Kath<br />Juan<br />Jonathan<br />Christine<br />Jayne<br />Jackie<br />Heather<br />Hannah<br />Gillian<br />Adam<br />Clare<br />George<br />Geoffrey<br />Geoff<br />Donna<br />Darren<br />Anne<br /><br />and five:<br /><br /><br />William<br />Adrian<br />Stuart<br />Alex<br />Sandra<br />Samantha<br />Amy<br />Phil<br />Pauline<br />Nicky<br />Matt<br />Marie<br />Liz<br />Katy<br />Jenny<br />Gary<br />Fiona<br />Edward<br />Diane<br />Debbie<br />Carl<br />Dawn<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-5902480845885744682?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-27864315661749748332009-05-21T20:26:00.003+01:002009-05-21T20:35:05.833+01:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_b5HdHEIl8iE/ShWrAvHKR5I/AAAAAAAAAYs/I1OGhqukd9g/s1600-h/Time+up.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338360962452440978" style="DISPLAY: block;

Or to photograph the wonderful surface of the road for the final three quarters of a mile before Parish Walkers rejoin the main road. I had meant to comment the last time I saw it to not the resurfacing.<br /><br />We often speculate about how much harder it was for the walkers in the 60s and they would not have dreamt of such a smooth surface. Mind you, having spoken this morning with a five times finisher who walked over the course from Ramsey to Douglas at the weekend, I understand that some of the footpaths (out of Ramsey and the Dhoon to Laxey) are in a dreadful state and whereas in the old days walkers were able to walk well into the road, this is not always possible now.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

Kneale (many thanks Karen) emailed me as soon as she got back from the committee meeting last night to confirm that there is, after all, a record entry.<br /><br />The number stands at 1620 with a couple more queries. There were obviously a number of entries that hadn't been processed and were not therefore on the list.<br /><br />I have been struggling this morning (in between a short run) to try and compare the differences but had a few problems with names with more than one field. There should be another 90 names but I have 96 so some of these have previously been reported. It does include a lot more of the previous finishers:<br /><br /><br />Adie Corlett<br />Adrian Cannell<br />Alan William Gault<br />Alan Cowin<br />Alan Cromwell<br />Alan Kinvig<br />Stephanie Naylor<br />Alan Marshall<br />Alison Mason<br />Amy Brown<br />Andrew Bell<br />Annemarie Callister<br />Annemarie Mooney<br />Anthony Atkinson<br />Arnie Jacobs<br />Becca Leivers<br />Becki Somers<br />Billy Shaw<br />Bryan Chatwin<br />Carole Staples<br />Caroline Kelly<br />Chris Arnold<br />Chris Bates<br />Christa Cain<br />Christopher Simon Brummitt<br />Stephen Harvey<br />Clare Kelly<br />Stephen Persner<br />Daniela La Perna<br />David Lon Chambers<br />David Rawling<br />Deano Leyland<br />Diane Kelly<br />Ean Zebb Crompton<br />Edward Welsh<br />Elizabeth Price<br />Felicity Betteridge<br />Gemma Collister<br />Geoff Cowle<br />Geoff Kinvig<br />Gerard Morley<br />Gillian Morphet<br />Gina Grose<br />Helen Gibson<br />Helen Murray<br />Holdaway Lauren<br />Iain Craig<br />Ian Keeble<br />Ida Cihlarova<br />James Michael Kelly<br />Stuart Callow<br />Jane Yippee Foster<br />Jeanette MacGregor<br />Jenna MacGregor<br />Jim Beaman<br />John Kennaugh<br />Juan Gell<br />Juana Warburton<br />Justine Callow<br />Kate Lowey<br />Katy Craig<br />Kenneth Wilson<br />Stacey Lauren Thompson<br />Kirsty Monks<br />Leanne Chatwin<br />Lesley Jamieson<br />Louise Russell<br />Marcia K MacLeod<br />Marie McGrory<br />Martine Fleming<br />Michael Shipsides<br />Michelle Devine<br />Mick Holgate<br />Nicola Jane Druggan<br />Nicky Fagan<br />Paul Kennish<br />Paul Morris<br />Peter Maurice Bell<br />Phil Baillie<br />Sarah Jo Callow<br />Ray Hughes<br />Richard Spenceley<br />Robbie Callister<br />Roisin Cummins<br />Ronald James Newton<br />Rosemarie Crellin<br />Ruth Richardson<br />Tanya Davies<br />Tara Slinger<br />Tara Westcott<br />Tony Fletcher<br />Tracey Mason<br />Trevor Quayle<br />Vicky Radcliffe<br />William Meban<br />Willie Woods<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-8501769070000522465?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-13966893307245500282009-05-10T10:03:00.002+01:002009-05-10T10:13:34.395+01:00When I was tracking the entries yesterday morning I couldn't help notice that record holder Sean Hands was missing from the list although I have seen him out training a few times.<br /><br />So I telephoned him to try avoid speculation. I left a message on his answerphone and he kindly returned my call later in the day.<br /><br />He confirmed that he will not be taking part.<br /><br />He has had further injury problems since last year and, although he kept his options open until quite late, he didn't want to risk a third retirement in a row.<br /><br />After a fantastic year in 2006 when he set the Parish Walk record and retained the National 100 Miles title, Sean admitted that he did not prepare so well for the defence of his title. But he ended up walking at the front of the field with Robbie <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Callister</span>, where he was expected to be seen. As a result he retired.<br /><br />Last year was completely different. He was in even better shape than in 2006 and after I interviewed him the week before the Parish I thought that another record was possible. As he took a minute a mile out of the field going over the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Sloc</span> I thought that this was a sign of this. But of course it was far too quick and the effort required to walk at that speed in those conditions <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">aggravated</span> his injuries too.<br /><br />He made some amends later in the year with victory in the End to End Walk and it is to that event that he will now turn his attention.<br /><br />But first that most modest of sportsman will be lining up at the start of the Parish Walk - to help with the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">marshaling</span>!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-1396689330724550028?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-86986081854061460052009-05-10T09:58:00.002+01:002009-05-10T10:03:24.988+01:00I was cross with myself yesterday as having spent all morning tracking the final entries I posted an update to the front page at 1 second past midday meaning to say that "Entries have now closed" but I typed "not" instead of "now".<br /><br />I apologise for any confusion I caused.<br /><br />BUT.<br /><br />It also said immediately below: "Although the entry list is subject to final confirmation (due to a couple of technical problems) no late entries will be accepted under any circumstances. Entries for the 2010 Clerical Medical Parish Walk open on 1 December 2009 - don't be late next time."<br /><br />I keep harking on that entries had been open for 161 days (clearly stating when they <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">closed</span>) and yet people were still trying to enter after the deadline and trying to use my error as an excuse.

must stress that these calculations are entirely unofficial. I may have made errors or some of those that finished last year maybe among those with a problem still to be added. But it would appear that 54 of the 122 that finished last year have not returned this year. There will always be a certain number of "one offs" and there will always be a few drawing the curtain on their Parish Walk careers, but I would if the weather last year was a factor.<br /><br />A few of the names listed below are now taking part in other branches of the sport of athletics but there are a few that I shall really miss like Rosemarie Crellin.<br /><br /><br />Adam Russell<br />Alan Brew<br />Alan Cowin<br />Alan Kinvig<br />Andy Harrison<br />Anita Costain<br />Antony Atkinson<br />Chris Moon<br />Chris Walker<br />Christopher Burn<br />David Chambers<br />David Churcher<br />David Whittam<br />Donald Strathie<br />Eleanor Gawne<br />Gordon Corran<br />Gordon Wynne-Smythe<br />Ian Allan Dunbar<br />Illona Leadley<br />Jane Birchall<br />Jeff Black<br />Jim Davidson<br />John C Ryder<br />John Robinson<br />Julie Owen<br />Karen Lawrie<br />Katy Craig<br />Lesley Christian<br />Margy Killey<br />Marie Jackson<br />Martin Malone<br />Martyn Quayle<br />Michael George<br />Michael Shipsides<br />Michael Teare<br />Michelle Stevens<br />Neil Towers<br />Nikki Boyde<br />Patrick Crowe<br />Patrick Hartley<br />Patrick Reid<br />Paul Kennish<br />Paul Malone<br />Paul Phillips<br />Peter Bradley<br />Phil Marshall<br />Ray Hughes<br />Richard Spenceley<br />Rosemarie Crellin<br />Stefan Dunajewski<br />Stephen Brew<br />Stephen O'Hare<br />Steve Taggart<br />Wendy Ross<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-4760904481073715497?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-38591671580908123732009-05-09T12:11:00.001+01:002009-05-09T12:12:04.647+01:00I took the list at midday precisely but there is now one more added (1530)<br /><br />Katherine Gatherer<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-3859167158090812373?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-32277166889735693422009-05-09T12:02:00.002+01:002009-05-09T12:03:59.931+01:00One of the final six entries went through in the last five minutes taking the total to1529.

I refreshed the page as I was talking to Gordon and it had increased to 1508.<br /><br />Although this is exciting following the final entries, it <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">flabbergasts</span> me that people wait for five and half months to enter (everyone who entered last year received a text on 1 December 2008; the website was launched on 1 December 2008 and the media publicity followed soon after) and then run into technical problems.<br /><br />There is a definite message for next year. Get your entry in much earlier and then you have time to sort things out without the stress that it causes if your credit card won't work or you have some other problem.<br /><br />On a scale of 1 to 10 my sympathy for the entrants is 1. On the same scale, my sympathy for the unpaid workers sorting out the problems it is 10.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-1430904711209991966?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-58903328896602129532009-05-09T11:01:00.001+01:002009-05-09T11:01:35.247+01:00Aneisha Kennaugh<br />Colin Moore<br />Gill Young<br />Keith Wilkinson<br />Marco Lavender<br />Rachel Gawne<br />Sharon Whitehouse<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-5890332889660212953?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-8964087248096259982009-05-09T10:32:00.001+01:002009-05-09T10:32:48.109+01:00Damien Briggs<br />Rebecca Briggs<br />Sophie Robinson<br />Susan Fargher<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-896408724809625998?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-79534521729726003952009-05-09T09:52:00.001+01:002009-05-09T09:53:16.788+01:00Although it looks as if one person has entered twice:<br /><br />Ann-Marie Murphy<br />Dawn Radcliffe<br />George Harker<br />Ivor Stanley<br />Jim O'Neill<br />Jo Hailey<br />Jodie O'Neill<br />Kate McHugh<br />Leanne Woodbridge<br />Leanne Woodbridge<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-7953452172972600395?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-65476642135535704392009-05-09T08:34:00.001+01:002009-05-09T08:34:50.121+01:00Andrea Kane<br />George Asare-Aidoo<br />Marie O'Connell<br />Tim Crookall<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-6547664213553570439?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312757524479920962.post-23984609563669570602009-05-09T07:25:00.001+01:002009-05-09T07:27:09.820+01:00I'm having a "Parish Walk" morning as I prepare a few things for future website coverage so I shall be at my computer and will keep you informed of the latest entrants every hour or two this morning.

thought the heading above was unique to this blog but when I went to type it in the autocomplete remembered that I had used it before.<br /><br />The point is that sometimes I check the entrants list two or three times a day without much change whereas I haven't reviewed it for 3 days and there are a further 108 entries!<br /><br />Here they are:<br /><br /><br />Aisha Howard<br />Andrea Burns<br

taken me a little longer to compile than I would have liked because the new entrants plus the original entrants came to one more than the current list. The reason was that someone had amended their Christian name so I had counted him twice!<br /><br /><br />Alexie Pepper<br />Alison Crellin<br />Angie Astley<br />Caroline Cain<br />David Cain<br />Dean Greenland<br />Emma Measures<br />Jane Ryder<br />Katherine Keenan<br />Liz Collins<br />Liz Cull<br />Mandy Caine<br />Mick Collins<br />Raymond Dodd<br />Trudy Haddouche<br />Will Moffatt<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312757524479920962-7560184432701340294?l=parishwalkcom2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Murray Lambdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14430213815969423449noreply@blogger.com0
