London Honkopoly route for Sport Relief. Designed by Oliver @ Mr McQuitty Ltd.
My son says I should definitely go as a wheelbarrow, his sister suggests a lightbulb, while my husband reckons I should just pin Monopoly money all over my clothes. At the moment I have absolutely no idea what to wear when I take part in the Team Honk bloggers’ relay from Land’s End to John O’Groats in aid of Sport Relief. (Team Honk is a brilliant charity blogging campaign set up to support Comic Relief last year).
My legs are too short to cover the whole 3,000 mile trip so I’ve signed up for the London section of the route on February 5th, 2014. This section has a Monopoly theme (hence my family’s sartorial suggestions) and is therefore called Honkopoly (Team Honk – Monopoly – geddit?):
Honkopoly for Sport Relief. Designed by Oliver @ Mr McQuitty Ltd.
The aim of the 3,000 mile relay from Land’s End to John O’Groats is to raise upwards of £20,000 for Sport Relief. The relay started in Cornwall on Sunday and the Team Honk baton is being transported across the country by blogger power right now.
24 bloggers are taking part in the London Honkopoly bid to cover as much of the Monopoly board as we can in a day. I’ll be travelling by micro scooter (I think) from Victoria to Kings Cross Station via various London Landmarks featured in the famous board game. But I really, really don’t know what to wear. Any suggestions?
If you’d like to donate to Sport Relief you can do so via the Team Honk Sport Relief giving page or you can text HONK to 70005 and donate £5.
You can follow our progress on Twitter via #teamhonkrelay and #honkopoly
The Honkopoly bloggers I’ll be scootering and walking with in London include jenography, Domestic goddesque, HPMcQ, Franglaise mummy, Grenglish, Not another mummy blog, Chocolate is not the only fruit, The holiday tots, Babes about town, I carried a watermelon, A baby on board, Manaias mama, Clarina’s contemplations, Hatty daze, Pigeon pair and me, and SE magazines.
The first ever Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Games take place from Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd March 2014. The public can join in by running, swimming or cycling their way to raising cash at over a thousand venues around the country, including the landmark events at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Sport Relief is a huge fundraising event which brings the entire nation together to get active, raise cash and change lives. 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.
This has got to be one of the most memorable legs of the journey – very well done all involved

Love the idea of pinning Monopoly money over your clothes! I have been talked into wearing a Sport Relief onesie with a top hat and moustache. Things we do for charity eh?!
I think I’ll be looking pretty similar to you then!
I think the idea of pinning Monopoly money all over you is fab! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with! xx

I’ve ordered a Sport Relief onesie now as a starting point and am still thinking about what else to wear!
We’ve got some costume ideas we’re mulling over at the moment…..Can’t wait to get out there and smash that target!
Loving that Monopoly money idea. In Nigeria, we spray people with money at parties, so I might just have to pinch that as a theme 😉
Great post. Honk Honk!

Wow, they sound like great parties!
Sod the scooter – why not just go IN a wheelbarrow and get us all to push?! 🙂 only joking…I think it’s great that Micro Scooters have donated for this. Looking forward to meeting you on the day!

Looking forward to meeting you too. Maybe we should have a wheelbarrow along with us in case anyone needs a rest and to carry essential supplies?!
Getting very excited! I saw a Monopoly money dress while surfing the web, but it was a little risk…ay! 🙂 xxx
I think my husband spotted that one too!
I wonder how much Monopoly money I would need….

I don’t think the money option will work!
Ooh! Pinning Monopoly money all over yourself – now that’s a great idea. Looking forward to seeing you on the day! 🙂

Looking forward to seeing you too, it’s going to be fun. I reckon the money would all fly off though, as we whizz along on our micro scooters!
HONKTASTIC!!!
Can’t wait to see this all unfold on the day!
Maybe you could the banker with a top hat and cane and a briefcase with notes sticking out? Either way I can’t wait to see the pics.
