The idea took off big time everyone I mentioned wenches to seemed to grab it. Eventually I had around 100 ladies keen to take part. Let the logistic nightmare begin. Its a hell of a difference arranging for 3 people to go to France rather than 100. The phone lines are at smoking point between here and portsmouth. I drove to Portsmouth for a meeting with my colleague Lynn Hyett and Ben Bentley from ABF. We sorted a lot of stuff out ironed creases out etc. I drove back to cornwall more determined than ever that wenches in trenches was going to go ahead. I send a small description of what we intended doing to our head office in London and it was duly posted on our website. WOW within half a day I had around 50 emails from ladies all over Europe. One of these ladies was Sharon whose husband is stationed at Fallingbostel. She is a dream come true she has fabulous contacts and has totally arranged the German end of this walk (many ladies travelling from Germany to France) along with a field kitchen and army tents.
I get really stressed out and cant sleep more than 3 or 4 hours right now but I am learning to delegate more and Im sure it will level out.
