[Closed] Anyone Seen Sharki ????

I won't believe it until sharki posts a pic of himself in a lime green bikini

nice one , wellcome back mate.

bugger, he must have gnawed through the bindings.

The missing Police Dug.........I reckon Sharki has perfected that whistle thing what Donald Sutherland used in [i]The Eagle Has Landed[/i].

high ****in 5 sharki baby!

so glad he's been found safe and well 😀

I haven't posted til now as I don't know sharki.. but I have been following this thread and it's great news to hear that he is safe.

Anybody knows Sharki's Facebook page? Can you get me the link please?

Alive? Shit that has cost me a quid. 😉

Apparently Shane has been found safe and well in Applestore

Phew! So pleased you've returned and hope you are OK.

Sweet news....when you read this sharki drop me an e-mail its been too long man.

Welsh Jon ( ex puriton factory )

[big grin] hope to see you mate. I will bring cake.

[nagging mother voice][i]Do you know how much trouble you are in! We've been worried sick![/i] 😉

Apollogies for sounding off the other eve, against the guy who called Sharki an attention seeker, (can't remember who it was aimed at or find the appropriate posting) but i was feeling all emmotional that the skinny one...sorry "Toned" whippet had been found safe and sound..
thats better.. got that off me chest ! 😉
Smell you soon Sharkmiester..

Great ! 😀

- just back from a "holiday" & 2000 km drive home after they stopped the flights 🙄
Wish I'd thought of a stroll in the south west instead

So where is the green sharkini photo then?

So.... Has anyone seen him??

Is he now safe & well? I'm a bit concerned there hasn't been an update!!!!!

He posted on Facebook t'other day. He's fine, wandering around the coast 😀

I do hope he is wearing more than a mankini though..

yeah he was found ok.

I know he was found, but is he OK?
I don't want details, just to know if his head is in a better place than before.

Cheers.

From Shanes facebook page
Shane is "Is back in Porthtowen after a detour to the couth coast. taking a few days without that 38lb pack severing my shoulders...though the pain in my heart from not seeing my kids cuts deeper. Quantocks to falmouth done. Falmouth to Poole next. Friends i'm so lucky to have you all. Josh Cody and Anna Love you all as much i thnkof you all daily xxxx"

Hi.

First and foremost a big thankyou for your concerns and a sincere sorry for all the worries and inconvieniences i caused.

When you spend three days in a row climbing a tree and placing a rope around you neck drastic measures are needed, for me this was walking away from all that was bad and unfortunately good in my life and making an effort to get well, my way, the natural way.

I'm still in cornwall trying to change my outlook and seeing things in a different light, many things are takien for granted in life and perspective can be lost.

With very little i left on a journey to not just survive but to live.

Which in part i am, still no tent, nature and neglect supplies shelter, whilst work and good people provide me means to eat/drink. Sunlight, excercise and nature the simple theraphy and i'm being more positive about things, a progression towards being able to cope with things i always struggled to deal with, things most of you take in your stride.

I'm in a village called Porthtowen right now, need to head back to the south coast and resume the walk to Dorset, having completing over 350 miles of coast path and inland walking.

I bonked at hells mouth near Porthtreath, having burnt out after 2 weeks of intense walking withouit sufficient fuel. With a weeks rest(inc a few days digging holes, grafting) i'm set now to continue on.

Plymouth then south Devon where i no doubt will receive the first of many owed slaps and hugs from old friends from here and mleh.

Both my journeys are far from over, but i'm begining to feel more open about stuff and able to face people i know already, 7 weeks of baring all to strangers has helped that.

Thanks again all, inc the one who got banned..it's people like that that drive me to be stronger, to be a better person, but take others into account.But first i'm looking after No1, if i do that then everything else will fall into place and be right.

If you want more regular contact then yon can sort me out with a laptop/notebook thingy in exchange for a neglected oneone 456. and thats an true offer, i've 2000 photo's to save, and pages of a journal to write up, not to mention staying in contsct with htose that matter dear to me.

Bye for now!

Nice to hear from you and glad to hear your getting sorted. Keep in there.

Good luck fella! Life is precious, you chose well.

Hope you are doing OK Sharki, sounds like a huge and brave effort.

ohhhhhh cornwalls nice I'd stay there.

Echoing allthepies sentiments [img] [/img] - take care.

wish I was there! enjoy it for me man!

Hi mate, glad to hear you're in a better place. Give me a shout when you're on the south coast if you want, can bring a couple of bikes down to get a ride in. Might have a notebook you can borrow as well...

7 weeks of baring all to strangers

Sharki is the naked rambler 😯

Good luck fella! Life is precious, you chose well.

Agreed

Good luck Sharki.

Gods Speed mate.

Good on you. Keep it up.

Hi Sharki

Great news that you are OK mate on your long walk, was getting a tad worried cos I/we hadn't heard anything from you for a while.

You know I'm in East Cornwall so when you get to Looe / Polperro get in touch via here or my mobi (I'll post my numbers on your fb ) or I'm in the phone book or via Knottie. You are more than welcome to stay the night or even a few days, free bed & board and you can [s]bore [/s]show me your photies 😆

Les

Good to here from you mate

All I will say to you is there is a bed here for you ( oh and home brew, bacon sausages etc)

Brave post Sharki,good luck fella.

Felt very sad reading about the tree climbing business and very glad you've taken charge; it sounds like the long hike is going really well. Look forward to riding with you again so please don't sell the 456!

Take care.

Stewart

just 1 thing sharki.......

Crown races............ 😆

Hi Sharki - I've closley followed this thread - so glad your on the road (pun intended) to recovery - sounds like you where in a very dark place - stay well & stay safe

Just remember there's a whole lot of people out there who care about you.

Shit man, thanks for taking the time to connect with stw when you've got so much else going on. The Path is a great place to get things straighter.

Take it easy.

nice weather for it though, eh? 😉
sounds like you've been right down in the bottom.
now you're on the way up, no need to focus on the top, just keep pedalling.
if you need owt when you get round this way, give knottie a shout and we'll sort you out.
take care.

Take all the time you need. Everyone will understand.

Blessed be, Sharki.

All the best Sharki and glad you're ok.

Good news. As others have said, great choice man. May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and may the rain fall softly on your fields.

sharki, surf your wave dude!

Nice to hear your still doing it your way, good luck on your travels.

bring us back some fudge

Sharki... if you can drop me an email I may be able to sort you out a laptop.

Glad to hear you are on the mend...

Stay strong Sharki, one of my old friends went up the same tree last year and never came down!

His family and friends will never forget him, stay close to yours, they love you very much.

Even mountain bikers can understand the value of a good walk. 😀

[i]"Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads"[/i]

All the best.

Am happy to donate a small amount to a 'Buy Sharki a laptop Paypal fund' as i'm sure many others would do on the proviso we get regular worlderness adventure updates.

Pretty good idea - any SW STWers who're pals with sharki up for setting it up?

everyone...i'm just about ok, but in fear of finishing my quest to early resulting in returning to that dark place.

Funkynick.
Offer appreciated, as i'm lugging everything around indefinately size and weight is important, hence the prefered notebook suggestion.

I've no fixed abode, all i can say is the 456 is up for swaps, etc.

I'll be in Plymouth area and south devon for the next few weeks so if i can do a deal or help anyone in exchange for things i need along the way, hopefully i'll be able to gain access to the web on the way, to find out more.

Can't be any more specific than that, other than i'll be on the south coast from Falmouth from sometime in the next day or two onwards.

I'll either gain access or just appear at Crispy bacons door or Jambos without prior warning.

Somehow i'll find away to let them know. xx

Ok Sharki - glad to hear you are enjoying the walk - just stay out of the trees please.

350 miles - thats a fair step. A lot of peace of mind to be found when trekking. I bet its been a bit warmer than when Julie and I were walking up in the highlands a couple of weeks ago.

Keep out of the dark places - stay in the sunshine. My thoughts with you mate and there is a welcome in the North for you anytime.

I'll either gain access or just appear at Crispy bacons door or Jambos without prior warning.

Lol - I have sent my phone numbers to you on Facebook mate just give me a ring & I'll come pick you up.

No pressure mate it'll be somewhere to relax with good food & you can chill & rest your feet for a day or three.

Back on the south coast now!

Porthscatho, views over the bay, Pizza in the oven and fresh home made bread for later..

Funny who you meet and the things they provide when you take the time to speak with them, and share the love of wildlife, etc.

always welcome mate. give me some warning and i'll leave a key out if i'm not there.

Jambo, without means to pre warn you, i rocked up at yours at around 6.30 this evening i think. Couldn't even find your Cat!!! guess it was sleepng or shitting in the neighbours garden..

I'm now in Callington.

For everyone else.

Somerset, North Devon and Cornwalls coastpath done, feet have resumed their hurting, i've only bonked once(fatigue) and around 2300 pics so far. Resting up around the Plymouth area for a few days before the next stretch and to help the NT with Si if the offers there still.

I may even try some of that cycling malarky this weekend.

I've not slept under a rock since lands end, since then it's been mine ruins, houses, cob courtyards, shelters, to name but a few locations, and i've not killed a sheep since near the Devon Cornwall border.

Other than that there's little else to report 😉

shrki, i'll be in the quantocks sunday. let have a ride/beer

Good effort big man. Cant wait to hear the story of your travels 😆 well done. Need a Quants session soon 😀

Jedi, will be along time till the Quantocks feel my feet or tyres, if ever again, home is where the heart is and unfortunately my heart hasn't found a home.

Enjoy them, they must be less eroded without my excessive use.

Just stumbled upon this for the first time. I've read pretty much the whole thing.

Sharki. Got to say mate your first post was beautifully sincere. I hope everything is cool in your world man. Absolute respect mate.

I hope there will be an epic photo thread when your ready to share!

*waves to the sharkster*

I loves ya Sharki

Always a room in Kent for you buddy.

I'm now in Callington.

OMG! I hope Crispy didn't 'welcome' you with his interpretation of a West Country Cream Tea 😯 (sorry Les 😉 )

BTW, if you try to pop in at Si's on your ramble you'll find that he's now become a hippy and moved to Totnes.

Keep on truckin' 🙂

Just stumbled upon this thread after a few months away cos this place was getting to negative and bitchy for me, its great to see the community pulling together on something like this and i'm glad its had a happy outcome. Dont know you Sharki but i'm glad you chose the long walk home...

I think my moniker suits this dude more than me.

Sharki, I think you're doing the right thing - finding yourself again, at your own pace, appreciating the basics of life. You'll know when you've found the right place to put down a root or two. Where ever that is, I'm sure you'll find some top riding in time.

Thanks for taking the time to show us around the Q's last autumn (the Brighton lot) you're still in credit with beers and cake with us mate - next time eh! 🙂

Pete aka Woodsman

Respect

Just caught up on the thread, left me with a big lump in my throat.....
and I appear to have something in my eyes.......
Phew.
Glad to hear you're in God's Wonderful County and more importantly finding peace.
really take care
