And so here we are. The day before Trailwalker and less than 24 hours until we begin our nomadic walk through the hills and valleys of the south downs. The last proper night's sleep has been had, the bags packed and re-packed, the lists checked over, chocolate bought, carbs loaded and song sheets printed.
I never thought this day would come round so quickly, and I can't believe how fast time has gone since we all signed up to do this crazy challenge. But 7 months later and god knows how many hundreds of kilometres walked, D-day is upon us and the countdown is now in hours and minutes, not days, weeks or months.
This will probably be our last blog before the start so a big thank you to everyone who's supported us so far- practically, financially, emotionally - however you have supported us, we couldn't have got this far without your help! and to all those of you who are coming along for the ride on the weekend- a great big thank you to you all and we are looking forward to you spurring us on when we are feeling like we can't go on!
We are all nervous about the challenge to come, but I, for one, am excited about starting (and finishing) and really getting my teeth into this mighty walk! There will be lows, I'm sure, but I know they will be well worth it...and will make the highs even better!
Well we're all equipped and ready to go to battle- map in one hand and percy pigs in the other..what more could we need!?
See you on the other side...
