In conclusion... this is nowhere near the end

Hello everyone!

Hope all is well. I know everyone else has given their view on 21st of Feb's 20 mile practice walk, but I thought I'd be the slow one and add it 2 weeks late!

Well much was learnt. Firstly, it was quite evident we are all a chipper lot, and despite a 7 hour walk, I think we were all pleased to be in the company of each other from the first to last second, and start a whole team vibe. Secondly, our feet. I had a beauty of a blister, which has started to heal now, and have started running again. That will be one of the most important aspects of this walk, good shoes, good socks and good preparation. I think the prep walk sounded down to a few, myself included, exactly what we are undertaking. Its not a case of a 'turn-up-and-walk-it' attitude and it never was, it's gonna be painful, difficult, tiring and we've got the reality check yet of finishing on top of a 2,900 ft mountain called - Pen y fan.

But that is where you all really can assist!!

As long as we raise a good amount for Macmillan, the summiteers are more than happy to put in the hard work! But we need you!! Our justgiving site is always open, so please do sponsor/donate. Additionally, on the official website, which will be up very shortly, a page is planned, which will be highlighting materials and things that would assist, whether that's your company on a leg of the walk, or if you are a business that can help toward essentials for us to complete this event with the goal of making a sizable contribution to Macmillan Nurses, please then get in touch. So check the website, and lets do this thing!!

Keep smiling (and I'll keep training!)
