Sure will ... most though will be used during my training walks O0

I'll only be taking some of the snacks and 6 of the main meals, most of which I'll be using early on as that's when I'm wild camping on alternate nights rather than b&b'ing totally, which I am doing in the latter half of the walk.

Less than 4 weeks to go.  Did 12 miles across the Downs today and feel great.  Got my weight down over the last 3 months from 83 to under 77 kgs so that's a fair bit I don't have to lug around  ;D

Pretty much hit my target of raising £500 for Sussex Search and Rescue (£15 to go) so if anyone fancies pushing me over it please feel free  :)

Not long now then! Glad the training's going well. We start Offa's Dyke on 2 June when you finish the Pennine Way. Lets hope for a month of decent weather!  I don't seem to have got so many walks in as last year when we did the Pennine Way, but am up to 10 miles and should increase that and get 2 days each weekend from now plus a weekend in the Peak district.

Good luck on Offa's Dyke, I see you're staying at Drewin farm, good choice, the only pain going N-S is the climb from the farm at the start of the next day!

Well this time in 2 weeks I should be reaching the Kinder plateau.  Pleased to say I've reached my fundraising target for Sussex Search and Rescue, so thanks to those who contributed  :)

Still time for more donations though  O0

Thanks, very useful ... I've been watching the long range weather forecasts and so far looking good, if it stays that way it will be a totally different walk to last time I did it  O0


Just been packing my sac, comes in at 13kgs without food and water, so happy with that, especially as I've been dieting since January and have dropped my weight from 83 to 76  :)

wow, mine was about 13kgs with food and water when i started and it hurt, come the end it was more like 10kgs and id lost a stone in weight. While we were up bleaklow it got all the memories coming back and im soo jealous you've only got a week to go, i don't have any walks planned. :-[ . If we dont have any prolonged spells of rain then the going should be real good. O0

I could get mine down quite a bit as I'm taking some stuff that could be left behind, but I like to cover all eventualities so for example am carrying two phones and two GPS  :)


I've been walking for the last few months with a 15kgs pack so quite happy with that weight and it was pretty much that when I last did the PW.
