Preparation

So I did a walk in to Reading yesterday with my full pack on my back, but this has caused a minor set back. That pack was worth every single penny I paid for it as it was *the* most comfortable pack I’ve ever worn by a country mile!

Hopefully, if you can see this update of course, it means I’ve successfully set my site up so that I can update it using my iPhone.

I’d just like to say an absolutely massive thank you to everyone who has so generously sponsored me so far. £800 and counting at the moment, almost £1000 with the gift aid!

It’s almost time to go! After a very busy weekend plotting routes, drawing on maps, checking kit lists etc. I am now almost ready to set off and start this big adventure.

So, the time is almost here for me to head off in to the sunset and move one step closer to starting this epic journey – well, it is for me anyway.

After trying to have an early night last night I failed miserably, only managing to steal 4 hours’ sleep before the three alarms I’d set went off. Tired? Certainly. Excited? Definitely! Scared? You’d better believe it!
