You know you can plan and plan and plan and still things can change. 

Today I found out that due to a communication issue it appears that our ferry off the Isle of Wight hadn't been confirmed, so some mad panic and thankfully Red Funnel have stood up to the plate and helped us out. This means we will now be coming back into Southampton on Friday 19th so anyone meeting us that day will be best to do so at Hythe Pier and not at Lymington ferry terminal (as we won't be at the terminal  ).
Then Dom has bought to our attention that teh sea front between Boscombe and Bourenmouth Piers is closed that day too for the air show  So now we need to see what plan B we can do at speak with the organisors tomorrow. I am sure fate is conspiring to stop me getting to my gig on the night 

Better news is that anyone joining us on Day 1 will be able to actually get onto Bangor Pier for a photo shoot. The guy who owns the Whistle Stop cafe half way up the pier has arranged a tea on the pier for Macmillian and a local childrens cancer charity, tying up with our own event where we make an appearance near the end for good measure.

Well done Chad on staying sane, focused and calmly resolved despite the inevitable curved balls that are appearing out of nowhere. You are going to have endless tales to tell your great grand children and, who knows, you might make this an annual venture !

You've taken on a hell of a lot! Thank you for all that you are doing! At least it's good news for day 1 

Just feels like a normal day in the Chad  household to be honest.  Jump on the rollercaoster that is my world....

As for the first day, for anyone coming along we are leaving from Freeth Street in Oldbury at 9:15am prompt. We will be there from around 8:45 and will situated on the civic square..

I'll be away on holiday now when you come to us  so wont get the chance to see you.
Have you looked at any Penarth pier, details.
Have a look at the google street view as theres a road crossing opposite the entrance as its on a main road.
Although theres is a very wide paving area infront of the entrances if the council would let you par up on there.
