London to Trondheim and back by 16 trains*, four buses, a car and a boat: what can possibly go wrong? (* approximately)
As part of my volunteering for the Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) I'm travelling from London to northern Norway and back to co-facilitate a nonviolence workshop and help a local group to establish AVP in the country. If you have nowhere else to be and have no other things to be doing then follow the journey's progress here, each day between 20 June and 1 July.
Win a great, yet small, prize
Predict the number of legs on the London-Trondheim-London journey - door to door and back - and I'll send you 'A Sense of the World' by Jason Roberts - an extraordinary and beautiful book about voyages.
a) Make a small (or big) donation to AVP at www.justgiving.com
b) Leave a message on the blog by clicking on the 'pobbledockets' link beneath any post in the blog.
c) In the comment box write something like 'I have given, honest!' and leave your name and your estimate of legs i.e. the number of individual vehicles (excluding walking) involved in the whole trip from central London to the flat in Trondheim and back again (excluding the week's work in between).
Rules: 1) Jokes like 'You'll only need two legs' etc., even if funny, will result in instant disqualification. 2) The winner is whoever's prediction is closest and, if shared with another, made earliest, so get your pobbledocket in early.

ReplyDeleteBon voyage!
ReplyDeleteYou are wonderful! I like to think that our journey to herrang a couple of years back will have given you all them ental and physical preparation you need so I predict 21 legs (1 fewer than needeD). but stock up on truffles in belgium, I've never yet met a train there that has behaved...

18 legs, and a 12% raised eyebrow drop per 75 miles north.
ReplyDelete24. I think you might try and sneak in an extra train here and there on purpose.S xx
ReplyDelete35 legs. Good luck Mr G.
ReplyDeleteIlakshi thinks 25 :)
ReplyDeleteum...far too many legs, but still less than it takes me to get across London sometimes :)
ReplyDeleteI think there will be 2 legs, one left and one right - unless you meet an unfortunate accident of course, then there maybe just 1 or even, none :) Good luck. I know three guesses are probably not permitted - although I didn't fully read the small print, but as I don't read much, should one of them be correct I'm happy for you to award the prize to a charitable cause.
