Route mapping 101

Too map or not to map that is the question.
Having to work out a few turn back points if any issues arise on the challenge.
Taxi has been called so we can get around with minimal fuss.

Things are moving along well

Time is passing on now and we are looking down the barrel of the challenge, with it being only 51 days away.

Can’t wait for it to be here all the training can be put into practise.

This week I got my act into gear and started the sponsorship off and set up the fund raising site at Virgin money giving http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/KGH.Trekking, I just hope all this effort was worth it.

We are looking to raise about £1000 plus but I would love to get well beyond that figure, posters are done and yet again my dyslexia got the better of me and I did my usual spelling mistake I accept by now it’s my trade mark and i am sure it makes people read and take it in more.

Our next training event will be on the 19/20th of this month and we can test doing 2 walks over 2 consecutive days, really testing the old legs and getting a feel for what you will be like on the second day.

I have started a twitter page for the group and we at last have a name the @KGH-trekkers and all the links are on the fund raising site so please visit us and follow all our escapades during the next few months.

In to action, stage 1

Well I have taken the first steps forward to the welsh 3000s, got some good interest in taking a group down to snowdonia in June time,
Will arrange a group meeting and see what they want to do and how interested they are in undertaking the challenge.
Just need to get my training program up and running plus to shed the last stone over the next 4 months.
Good news this morning I broke i the 14st 7lbs, only by a pound but that is enough.

More ideas are forming

Just looked up walks around uk and found the welsh 3000 peaks, 51 k off welsh mountain and it looks grand.
Can it be done and is it the challenge I need to focus on, really get a buzz looking at this climb as it's the most challenging in the uk.
Really need to read up on this one as it fits the bill, fitness is a real must on this as the ascents and descents are quite difficult and some off track climbing so fitness would be a stricken training regime.
Need to thinking time on this one

My next goal

Right I said to myself, I need a goal a direction to enable me to focus on.
3 mountains in 3 days for next year, get a team together and some sponsorship for the hospital and the organise some accommodation then find a guru for the lakes to pick the 3 hardest routes,
Got some good interest already from some senior staff so should be and easy time of it getting it of the ground.

Weekend is a funny time

Well another weekend, I can find they so frustrating as the temptation to eat can be to much. The alternative is to go out which costs and this seems like double jeopardy.
Plus side clothes are starting to look better on me and the temptation to buy is hard to resist.
