Meant the link from your member details page to e-mail you personally. For charities, prefer not to book online anyway (for exactly the reasons you mentioned).
4 weeks... I didn't realise it was so soon.
Best of luck and will make a point of finding you this year! |

A nice compliment thank you! :-)
The 3 friends I dragooned into it last year are going to do it again, plus some more too, I think.
Surprised you've got time to do all that organising... ;-)
Is your e-mail link from here set up to work again?

And I thought you said you weren't doing it again....
:-)
I'll be there again. Had a good time last year and enjoyed it. Planning on being fitter this year though.
Hope all is well.

Dodge,
re: nursing within RAF - can't speak from direct experience, however my father was involved in nursing in the RAF for 26 yrs.
There is a maximum age for entry (30?) and you have to sign up for a minimum term (9yrs?, or maybe even longer). Most of the training these days is done within the NHS anyway (in Birmingham I think).
And then there are all the wonderful foreign postings - not! My fathers experience included Aden (war), Cyprus, Belize (war), Ascension (Falklands) and Germany (which was good but is now closed). Mustn't forget the "on-call" either. I am now nearly 40 and still remember vividly each time my father was dragged out of bed in the middle of the night to disappear of to some troublespot for days or even months.
It should be said though that maybe he wouldn't have had this lifestyle if he hadn't chosen MedEvac as a trade.
When he came out he couldn't deal with the NHS. He really hated (with absolute vitriol) all the management that went with it, and believed that the good work done by medical staff was seriously compromised by truly sh1te management which wouldn't survive outside the NHS.
So, all-in-all, would it really offer anything different? Probably not!
Unfortunately can't ask my father as he died some years ago, but may still have other contacts if you are interested in this option. | |

Hello again Lesley!
Just started out again, but didn't make it on Tuesday (was stuck at work until well after 6). Will be out this w/e, and may come down next Tuesday.
New Years day sounds good - must get the miles up first though.
Doubt I could even keep up with the beginners now! :-)) | |
