Barry Kilby has gone for a walk
I bumped into Barry last week and he told me he was going to take a walk with some friends to raise money for his prostate cancer appeal.
He’s walking from Liverpool to Leeds along the canal with it split into about ten walks. I’m not sure when he will be where but it would be good if we could give him some support along the way. If you are near to the canal, let me know and I’ll try to find out when they will be there.
Smashing bloke, top chairman and great to know his health is good which it must be if he’s taking this on.

Re: Barry Kilby has gone for a walk
My house backs onto the canal.
If you can find out when he’s passing Nelson/Brierfield I’ll keep a look out.
May even join in for a little bit walking the dog if im not working

Re: Barry Kilby has gone for a walk
My house overlooks the Skipton portion so would be good to know when he's this way

Re: Barry Kilby has gone for a walk
I’ve found out since posting this that they are not walking every day but once per week on a Wednesday and they’ve done the second leg today.
I’ll now try to find out when they are doing Burnley, Brierfield & Skipton. I’ll go and join him for the straight mile in Burnley to give him some support.

Re: Barry Kilby has gone for a walk
It's a shame it's not the Lancaster canal I would have joined the walk, he deserves credit for raising money & awareness to such a good cause, the L&L boasts some nice stretches.

Re: Barry Kilby has gone for a walk
It does boast nice stretches. He told me last week that he’d found out that the half way point on the canal is at Clayton-Le-Moors which is where he’s from.Jakubclaret wrote: ↑Thu Jul 06, 2023 7:04 pmIt's a shame it's not the Lancaster canal I would have joined the walk, he deserves credit for raising money & awareness to such a good cause, the L&L boasts some nice stretches.

Definitely Clayton le Moors. Unless they have shortened or lengthened it in the last 12 years.

Re: Barry Kilby has gone for a walk
Or placed a bogus plaque there just to confuse folk.
Re: Barry Kilby has gone for a walk
Yes, there's a plaque on the towpath at Church which signifies the halfway point

Re: Barry Kilby has gone for a walk
Great news bud. Years ago I had two separate biopsies that both proved negative but with some abnormalities. They kept a close eye on me for years with regular PSA tests and so on. Quite worrying but I was assured that if I had it it would be treatable due to it being very early stages (if I’d had it). Men should get checked for this as if it’s found early it is easily cured and it is also very slow so it is simple common sense. Too many men die from it every year and it is so unnecessary. All I have to do now (for life) is take Dutasteride to keep the swelling down.
If you’re over 50 and haven’t been checked do it NOW. Don’t f*ck about. Just do it.

Re: Barry Kilby has gone for a walk
Great news Tribesmen , the all -clear is a life altering moment. I came across an old 2019 diary recently with the dates for my radical prostatectomy, for which I got the all clear in December 2019. I thanked Barry for his foresight in organising the testing days at the Turf which I know saved my life. For anyone reading this who doesn't know , get yourself tested even if you have no symptoms. It could change your life.
Since then I have been blessed to become a grandpa 3x over and that's a role to treasure.
Added to the thanks to Barry, I joined his trust making contributions on a monthly basis which help to ensure that the testing sessions continue so that other men will get the chance to become grandpa's too. I encourage all who can, to join his trust too. Who knows you might even win in the draw as well. Phone 07512 309214 | Email: info@thebkpca.com to find out more .

Re: Barry Kilby has gone for a walk
There’s going to be a delay in the walk being completed as Barry has broken a bone in his foot
Stage 5 on August 2nd, Chorley to Blackburn, is still on as planned. However, Stage 6 on August 9th from Blackburn to Huncoat has been postponed to allow Barry's return. It will now take place on Monday, September 11th.

Re: Barry Kilby has gone for a walk
I was told a few days ago that he’d done this and wondered what was going to happen with the walk.

Re: Barry Kilby has gone for a walk
Barry has resumed his walk after his little break (pun intended)

Re: Barry Kilby has gone for a walk
Anyone know the daily routes they’re taking. The canal runs at the side of our village near Skipton, it would be nice to be able to give them some encouragement as they passed through, unless of course they already have.

Re: Barry Kilby has gone for a walk
It’s a weekly walk. Think they are doing around 10-15miles each week.
They got to Hapton this week so I’m expecting them to be passing me in Brierfield next week

Re: Barry Kilby has gone for a walk
I did email the bloke organising it and asked him to let me know when he was passing through Burnley. Never got a response.
