Christmas Day Interview With The BBC!

Tues. 21 Dec. 52.1km / 32.4 miles. Beddington.
Wed. 22 Dec. 40.9km / 25.4 miles. Clifton.
Total for 49 Road days = 2,193.7km. = 1,363.1 miles
December 23-25th Christmas break in Clifton, Me.
I have been asked for an interview on a prestigious programme for BBC Radio 5 Live on Christmas Day called ” Snapshot Christmas”
It’s about unusual things people are doing on Christmas Day! I guess Running around the world qualifies.
The show runs from noon to 1pm GMT. I believe their website is: http://www.bbc.co.uk/5live/
Anyone interested should be able to logon and listen.
I will be spending Christmas in Clifton, Maine with my new friends Pastor John and Deb Walsh

Thanks Rose! HA HA John was only using his Dublin wit and is one of my great supporters and advisors! He is a member of our national 24 hour team. I met with him several times before leaving and his help and advice on gear and the Spot tracker was sound. Best wishes for Christmas to all. I crossed over to USA yesterday. Tony
