We have less than 2 months to go till the challenge, and team training for the next month is now a priority! To date we have had 2 team training walks at the Pentlands (photos to follow, Diana, myself, and Esther have documented our training walks.) We have a couple people off on holiday but they have promised to walk as much as possible (Diana, this means you!) Then on 16-18th May we are going to do our long walk weekend, 40 miles over 2 days to try out our walking shoes and how we will feel after such a long time together. :S
Recent training activity for me (Elizabeth): This past weekend I was visiting a friend in the borders, we went for a 3 hour walk through the Kyloe Hills on Saturday followed by a 36 mile cycle to Holy Island on Sunday! I know it wasn't a walk but it was quite a workout nonetheless. In less than 2 weeks I'm running the Great Edinburgh Run 2009 which is approximately a tenth of the distance we are going to get through in the highlands.
We still need to sort out bits of kit for each person, a couple head torches, waterproof trousers, all the food and accommodation in Fort William for the Friday, and sponsorship! We have pledged to raise £2500 for Scottish Communities, and I know we can! So if you are reading this blog, please take a moment to go to the website link on the left and donate any amount to help us reach our goal.
Now to figure out how to get the images off my camera and onto the blog...
