A Land's End to John O'Groats Charity Walk

Hello again blog readers!

Monday 14th is just two days away - wow! Edward and I have been busying ourselves with purchasing and packing the last remaining items. We're now having to sacrifice luxuries in order to get the weight of our backpacks down.

The last few details of the route need to be plucked and we need to sort out our food and then I think we're just about done!

Training is going well and I am raring to go. I'm definitely not getting my hopes up for good weather and preparing myself for a very soggy few weeks ahead. Still, right now I don't care. Nothing compares to the feeling of being able to carry all you need to survive on your own back, and the fact that the biggest worry will be where the best place to camp is each night.

Ed and I will do our best to update this site as frequently as possible!

With only three exams left to go and only eleven days left before I finally finish my degree, the smell of freedom, excitement and change is strong in the air.

The Summer weeks to follow the completion of my exams won't be a time for rest and recooperation though. I am about to embark on the biggest physical challenge of my life so far, walking the length of Britain, and with this expedition comes a phenomenal amount of organisation.

The route, daily route cards, the kit, food, sponsors, raising money, budgeting, top-up supplies and training all spring to my mind. Edward and I have 57 days in which to get everything sorted, but we like a challenge.

Just as well really!
