Hello bloggers!

Am very much enjoying my rest day - John and Antonia have been very good to Ed and I and I've been able to devour two books, wash all my clothes, have a heavenly bath and eat plenty of chocolate. Bliss - and we're only 5 walking days away from John O' Groats.

However, I must admit I'm feeling quite nervous about the next few days now that we're coming to the end. I hope I don't get shin splints again or go over on my knee again or acquire any injury. I am actually nervous about reaching the end. Maybe angst is a better description. I just don't know how I'm going to feel. Happy? Relieved? Sad that the adventure's over? Anti-climatic? Disappointed? Proud....? We've walked a hell of a long way but I still don't feel particularly proud of myself. I am pleased with all the money we've managed to raise though, very.

I think when what we've done finally hits me, I'll feel more happy with my achievement. Five days....

Carlie.

Hi Carlie and Ed,
Hope you enjoyed reading the lengthy e mail from Dan!!, lots to tell about his developing romances, so hold on to that thought for the next 5 days. Really happy for you both as you near the end of what will be a really fantastic personal achievement for you both, and hope the money keeps rolling in. Just to let you know Dave went in for his transplant last sunday and is doing very well, so a major result all round. Looking forward to seeing you soon and catching up, enjoyed seeing the great photos on the site too.

Hello Carlie and Ed,

You guys have really been at it since the last time I signed on. You must pardon the pun but what a "feet" you have accomplished. On to the end this Thursday and I hope that you will find time to celebrate. Maybe a hot tub is in order or a spa visit? We here in the "Colonies" are very proud of your achievement. A great couple and two great causes. We look forward to seeing more pictures when you get them together and also to chat about your journey when we see you next spring. Much love to you both. Mike and Claudia

Hi Both,

Today is the last day! and we are with you in our hearts and minds every step of the way.

What a journey, an amazing achievement, something to remember for the rest of your life. To be honest, there were times when I thought that perhaps the injuries might stop you but you are so determind to continue.

We are so proud of you both and can't wait to see you and hear all about it.

Celebrate in stlye.

Lots of love always

Nat & Parf
