What do I wear for the #Teamhonk 3000 mile blogger relay for Sport Relief? Text HONK to 70005 to give £5

Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together. Particularly if its a plan for charity and even better if it’s for Sport Relief and the wonderful Team Honk.

From 12th Jan in Cornwall to 23rd Mar an army of mad crazy bloggers are going to be climbing up the country from Lands End to John O’ Groats in a first ever Blogger Relay. 3000 miles they will cover using a number of different modes of tranport; some mad, some just slightly less so.

Myself and the wonderful Me and my Shadow plus our much fitter other halves are doing the Cambridge to Milton Keynes leg on the 2nd February. Me and My Shadow will be dressed as Wonder Woman for her bit – but what superhero should I go as though? I really haven’t a clue. More on that problem later….

For a bit of background, we are getting the Lycra on from Cambridge where there will be:

• Swimming along the backs in the city centre
• Cycling from the edge of the town into Bedford
• Running from Bedford to Newport Pagnell and finally,
• Walking from Newport Pagnell into the centre of Milton Keynes.

There isn’t a motorised vehicle in sight for the 45 miles of the leg.

If you can, we would really appreciate your support for the cause.

The money raised by the public is spent by Comic Relief to help transform the lives of some of the poorest and most disadvantaged people both at home in the UK and across the world.

What shall I wear?

Now all I have to do is decide what female superhero outfit to kit myself out in……

On my hen do – ten years ago….York didn’t know what had hit it…a very young and much better looking Cat Woman….

I don’t think this 40-year old, post child body can cope with that tight leather anymore…

But – Milton Keynes here we come…what do you all think I should be wearing this time around? I have been sponsored by joke.co.uk to don some of their fabulous Superhero costume gear in their online shop…but what do I choose? Bananawoman, the female riddler, She-Ra, or even a rather Sexy Storm. Not sure I could carry that one off – Bananawoman is most definitely more me I think?!!?

Tweet me @kiddycharts with #Teamhonk to met let me know if you want; or just comment on the post below.
