We all braved the soggy London weather and hot sweaty tubes this evening and ventured to deepest darkest South East London to the Primark of the sports world....Decathlon.
For the uninitiated, this is the place to go for bargain priced sports wear, camping gear, bikes, compasses and all other associated activity and sports related goodies. For those in the know already, you know the score..
So, a final shop to get ourselves fully kitted out for the challenge with walking poles, whistles, extra socks, energy snacks, waterproof trousers, torches...and high visibility jackets. Yes, that's right. Those things which you might find people wearing on building sites, or which you might wear when directing incoming planes onto the runway. Not the sort of thing we would normally spend our Wednesday evening buying, but that's dedication for you.
A mad dash before closing, a forty minute walk and eight soggy feet later, we arrived back to civilisation in the form of a pub in the city to thrash out the finer details of timings for each check point, support crew details, who will be meeting us where and when...and most importantly our food wish list for the weekend.
Job done, details finely tuned, sausages on order and back home feeling more organised and ready to face the challenge. Question is, is the challenge ready for us?
