Story

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page.

This is a moderate to challenging activity and our trekkers will be trekking long distances over varying terrain, which includes some uphill sections, in varying weather conditions.They will be walking for many hours and sometimes on steep gradients. There will be considerable training to prepare for this challenge and it shouldn't be underestimated! They will be trekking at least 7-8 hours at a time for multiple consecutive days. Regular breaks are taken, but long days of walking are inevitable. You cannot be too fit for this challenge so we are encouraging our supporters to get walking!

Hi, now you've read the official scary details.  This is going to be extra challenging for me. You may or not know, but I have Osteo Arthritis in both of my feet and a heel spur in left ankle, which means that although I am able to  walk long distances, the most I have ever walked at one time being,12 miles,  it can take up to a week, sometimes two weeks for my feet to recover. Unfortunately, on this Trek, I won't have that luxury, as I will be up and off again, the next day!!!!

This will be a challenge in more ways than one 😊

I will be posting updates how the training is going !!!

Please support me in this cause which is very close to my heart.

Many thanks,  Susie xxx
