Hurray for Mr Smudge and his very kind people. They are sending out laminated #flatmarleys to help you play the game too and are always amongst our most imaginative participants. A few facts from Mr Smudge about the C17 - It's a massive cargo plane flown by the brave men and women of 99 Squadron. It can fit a whole chinook helicopter inside and can descend at 25000ft per minute!! 

If you are enjoying the game and want to take part then you can just follow the instructions on the right side of the blog. We  just ask that you make a small donation to either Dogs Trust or Terrier Rescue before we post your photos. If you can't print your own #flatmarley then Mr Smudge can send you one if you just contact him via Twitter on @smudgeBT.....

A quiet week of recuperation

After all the fun and frolics of the first weeks of the new #flatmarley season, last week was a week of rest and recuperation for our intrepid traveller....but he did get to spend some time with some very special friends indeed....

Master Peter and Bertie scrappin over access rights.....

....please do keep playing and donating my friends. And if you need a #flatmarley of your own but don't have access to a printer then our stalwart pal @SmudgeBT can send you a laminated one for free!  We know that one or two have already been delivered. 

We hope to see a busier week of #flatmarley action this week .....he will certainly be at Wimbledon on Friday and I would not be surprised if he was at the start line for the Tour de France as well.....
