Well this is it folks, the moment when you suddenly think that this was probably the worst idea you have ever had!!! Then reality takes hold - I have done the training and more, the feet are covered in zinc oxide plaster so hopefully I will remain blister free, my brothers have both told me to stay focused, in fact the whole family has been really supportive and of course it is for a really fantastic cause so here goes.
Final thanks before I set off, to Gel and Sue for keeping the aches and pains at bay, to Netty for keeping me training and to Peter for everything. Jill, Emma, David and Izzy will be there to see me off in about an hours time - thanks guys, and hopefully when I get to Catterick, Izzy will be waiting for Granny J. or so I have been told - could this be a bribe to keep me going?
More tonight after Day 1 and pictures will be posted later - at least Hero ( the H4H bear) is photogenic.
Guess what the sun is shining.
