The Build Up

So, with just a few weeks to go till I find out how my fitness is and I test my staying power over the 14 days of walking without a soul to talk to except fellow walkers I meet along the way and bar staff, I am getting pretty excited and a little nervous.
To the amusement of many I have spent a fortune on good equipment to aid the possibility of a successful conclusion. The lightest one man tent that I could find, a cooker the size of a pint beer glass and clothes that feel so light that it is hard to imagine that they would keep anybody warm. There is nothing left to buy.
I have walked hundreds of miles in preparation for this trek. But, it is the knowledge that it is the relentless day after day schedule that will surely take it's toll both physically and mentally that makes me anxious.
The proof of the (low fat) pudding will be in the eating, so I will soon know whether I have prepared enough or whether I have spent enough money on equipment.
Just this morning I booked my train ticket from Exeter to St Bees for £58. and I have booked a B and B in St Bees. There is still plenty to do in the form of organisation which I hope to do over the next couple of days.
So as this is the first of many blogs over the next few weeks with hopefully daily blogs during the two weeks of the walk, I will keep it short and sign off now.

Take care.
