Sunday 25 April 2010, saw the little Kemp family and friends congregate in London Town to follow Kev's progress around the London Marathon course. It was a fabulous day and the man himself completed the event in 5 hours 29 minutes and 19 seconds.
Kev, Martin, Angela, Dionne and Sean snapped at Blackheath just before the registration process.
After dropping the intrepid runners off at Blackheath we boarded the coach for the short journey to Tower Hill, where we embarked and fortified ourselves with a full English breakfast!
Suitably nourished, we camped out just south of Tower Hill to wait for our friends to make an appearance. First of all Angela turned up and stopped briefly to chat. Having run a marathon just a week before she was pacing herself and taking things a little easier than usual.
Next up was Dionne. Looking focused, driven and running well, she too had run a marathon the previous week with Angela.
Last but not least Kev appears. He was in his stride at this stage and reluctant to stop but managed a wave and a big smile nonetheless.
After waving goodbye to Kev, our little group left Tower Hill and managed to connect with him at Poplar and then again at Westminster. Sadly we missed the ladies - they were simply too fast!
Well done Kev - you've done it again!
The atmosphere of this year's marathon was absolutely superb, there was fantastic support for all the runners, whether elite or fun, and of course the wheelchair competitors. The memories of a lovely day will linger for a long time.
