The final countdown is now on.... with just 3 weeks to go until I head off to Peru.
Training is now approaching the end...this week saw swimming on Sunday, 1 hour walks on Monday and Tuesday plus 1 hour's fitness training on Wednesday plus a 5 hour walk around Exeter doing the Green Circle Trail in reverse. I was supposed to go to the gym tonight but my leg is still hurting from Wednesday so I decided to have a day off and try and get an extra 1 hour walk in tomorrow. According to the Training plan, there is only another 2 weeks of training at full steam as the last week it all gets scaled back to get in a little rest before the trek.
I picked up what I hope is the last of the kit needed for the trip, my bag is now stuffed with bits and pieces.
Sponsorship and donations continue to come in down at East Cliff Cafe and am hoping for one last push in the next few weeks.
The plan for next week is to take on the 14 mile Teignmouth to Dawlish long way round walk which has been put together by the local ramblers.
