Maximus said:I love old people me Dawn! - I had the honour of walking part of the walk today with Bill. Bill has written a book - a manuscript (unpublished) of his war memoirs.
I'm going to contact a few friends-of-friends people to get it published. Published online - it is a story to be seen by a wider audience.
Bill, wrote the book when visiting hospital with his dying wife. A tale of a world war two RAF man who flew Pathfinder missions targetting potential bombin targets in France, Germany Czechoslovakia etc. - it total he flew the maximum 45 missions. - Today, as I felt the strain of hauling my almost 47 year old bones up a Northumberland hillside whilst chatting with this great man, he revealed he is 89 years old!
Over 8 mile today and not just a straight path! - i can't wait to read this manuscript.
Inspirational to the young Steve I can tell you! - he also did the 7.6 mile walk yesterday too.
Wow - what an inspiration Bill is. I love meeting real heroes like him x
