Friends
This section is dedicated to all those hundreds of people who have helped me in many ways. Some have offered me a bed, others a pair of trainers whilst others have done nothing more concrete than “being there”. Guys, it is as simple as this. Without you, I could NOT have completed the journey. To those who want to remain private I respect your wishes and to those who are happy for me to acknowledge you, I have added you here.

Thanks Ingela – it’s much appreciated.
Good luck Steve, looks like fun and a great idea. We have a spare room and shower in Swansea if interested. Will try to catch you with Carolyn.
Thanks so much, Simon. Not so sure of the fun bit at the moment with the training. It WILL be fun when I get to meet you all. Looking foward to it.
Steve you are a star! All the very best with your mission! Will be a tough but fun journey I’m sure. Hope the sun smiles on you and that you get all the support, beds and showers that you need!
Thanks, Dena. Happy to add you and the best accommodation in Catalonia as “friends”. Just send details. Might bump in to you and yours on the Pennines. Hope so!
Wow Steve! Awesome news! Go get’em tiger! 🙂
Thanks Claire. It may not be Oslo-South Africa but it’s far enough for an old timer like me!
Steve do appreciate all you are doing, you certainly have more guts than me but you are a little younger! also for all the good things you have done here in Spain. Take care and drive/”bike” safely.
David Winder and all the fans at F.C.Torrevieja and the Golf Society.
Thanks Dave, appreciate your support. I may only be 53 but it’s 35 years since I sat in a saddle! Make sure FC Torrevieja moves back to safe hands soonest!
Looking forward to seeing you in the (hopefully, not so frozen) North early July. You’ll be an accomplished cyclist by then no doubt!
Good luck Steve – you deserve it !
David B.
Thanks David. Really looking forward to meeting up again. In London – much changed in 9 years

Good to meet with you yesterday at the Barclays/Geoff Ramm event and if you could forward a copy of the photo you took then I will add a few words to our twitter page to help you if possible.
Good on you. If Spain can do so can you.Take care of the health though. LOL
Andy, Spain and I can BOTH do it ….and we will
Thanks for your kind thoughts

Thanks, Craig. It was indeed great to meet and I thought it was an exceptional presentation by a consummate professional.
It was a pleasure to welcome you to Durham & Cumbria BNI. Good luck with the rest of your trip

Takk, Morten. Thanks. Norwegian contacts are always welcome as long as they are not Enga fans LOL
Dear Steve,
What an amazing site. I really do admire you and what you are achieving. If you are anywhere near Chelmsford it will be my pleasure to look after you.
David
Thanks David, I will definitely be in Chelmsford mid September. Hope we can meet
Steve
Hey there trooper,
It was an absolute pleasure spending a little time with you during your stay in Huddersfield. I really do hope that people do spare a thought for the refugees in this cruel world of ours. In the meantime take the best of care…anyone out there reading this…extend a hand of kindness and support Steve in whatever small way you can..Steve… may the sun shine on you face and the wind stay on your back.

Steve, great to spend a hour in your company on Tuesday at my workplace Bristol Street Motors Peugeot.
Saw your interview from the new Chesterfield FC ground, very impressive all the way around.
Good luck with the remainder of your journey and stay safe.
Ken
It was my pleasure to visit you and see your impressive showrooms. I am delighted that you chose to become a “ friend“of the project and to be “Sponsor of the Day” Just look round the site and see the number of mentions of BNI. Think you would do well as a member. Thanks again. Nice Jaffa Cakes!
A belated welcome to Hereford!! Great talking to you Steve, and good luck with the rest of your trip.

guess Norway or at least me & Teamkraft would like to hear about the finish line (date) coming “HOME”
finishin date ? and to Norway date?
doing great Sir Hall!
Bjørn, I hope to be back in Oslo on 24th/25th September. As you know, it “might” be a day or two later. I look forward to buying you all a Pripps Fatöl ….. a good Swedish beer! Huge thanks for your support. I remember you stayed in a pub garden near Harwich on your first, second day in UK. Thought I might go and say “hi”. I had a “Colchester” moment at Plymouth Argyle. Next…..! 71 down and only 21 to go.
Steve thank you again for your visit and gift x you are amazing and inspirational.
Best wishes and keep in touch

Given all the insults you have given about my beloved over the years I think you’re having a laugh going to pointless West Ham for your 92 and last club.
Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday and back in Spain early November.
Great effort Mr Hall, pity about the legs.
Always a pleasure to ridicule the Baggies – respect however and thanks for their support of the project.
West Ham? I thought they were always everybody’s “other team” ……. I know yours is Wolves!
Helen, don’t forget to remind your members that I am happy to add them onto my site. You just need to gather up their business cards and forwrd them to me.
Hi Steve. nearly there mate, i see your back this way next week Barnet and Enfield on friday.
Give me a call and we can meet up maybe on 07880603108
Hola Steve, it was a pleasure meeting you on Friday where I was subbing at the Concorde Chapter.
Great cause and I wish you the very best for the rest of your journey;-)
Hi Yes fate brought us together. If you give me a few details about YOUR chapter, I can add a link on the BNI page. Always happy to help those who have helped me.
Hi again. Yes, nearly there! Seems a long long way from our last meet at Ponders End. Just in and out on Friday but let’s see if we can catch a coffee. Regards to all your friends and the guys in Birmingham.
