A final meeting to discuss the walk, made all the better for anti-pasta, paella and puddings to die for. We must be ready, but I feel as though there are 101 things still to do. Th mid range weather forecast is confusing; it all depends if you believe the BBC, the Met Office or Metcheck (I haven't bothered checking other weather forecasters, it would only add to the confusion). Consensus is that the temperatures will be below normal, the wind will be coming from the north east and two of the three forecasters suggest light rain to herald the beginning of the walk.
We are now up to 4 followers, welcome all.
Ross has a first aid kit which would be the envy of a Premiership football club. Foot care is an absolute must. When we walked last year it was our feet that gave the most trouble; I'm sure my feet were more blisters than sound skin at the end.
We plan to start walking by 10 am on Saturday and the walk is relatively short on day 1 - about 13.5 miles so we should finish mid afternoon.
Can't wait.

I think I'm past worrying about the weather and this kinda sums it up:
ReplyDeleteWhether the weather be fine,
Or whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold,
Or whether the weather be hot,
We'll whether the weather
Whatever the weather
Whether we like it or not.
I'm more worried about the main bag which is over 20kg's.........time to chuck out the nice to have.
Hurrah i've figured out how to send you messages of encouragement along the way!
ReplyDeleteIf your first aid kit is anything like the one you assembled for the Staffordshire Way then you will have something (and a backup) for all eventualities!
Have a great time and get some sleep before you start!!
