Shelterbox´s Fundraiser of the month

Just a quick note that apparently I´ve been awarded the " fundraiser of the month" from Shelterbox.

"Our fundraiser of the month is Roger Palmer, who has raised over £3,000 to take part in a challenge. Shelterbox would like to say a big thank you to our fundraiser of the month."
There is more information to follow when I get home when I will scan in the information.

Training Update: I´ve been doing plenty of walking in the past week with a 2 hour walk almost daily...today I´ve done 2 long walks at over 1500 metres.

Also I would like to thank James Milstead for his donation.

Mid Jan Update

Well we are now well into January and it will be my last update for a month as I am going to be on holiday but will be continuing with my training as much as possible by doing plenty of walking and swimming!!
Since the new year, I've so far managed 4 walks a week (with 1 longer 2hour one a week) plus some fitness sessions and some swimming as well. Overall its all going rather nicely, today is my rest day so I am sorting out all the paperwork and other things that need to be done!
The fundraising has been going well for the time of the year but when I return in Feb, it will be down to the last 10 weeks, when training is pushed up into overdrive and the last few fundraising efforts kick in! So the next month is a great time to have a break from everything but still get in plenty of exercise and have some fun!
Below is some photos from the past 2 weeks walking, it wasn't fun being out in minus 2c and having to watch my step on the ice...a rare thing in Teignmouth!
