I have felt compelled to do this Icelandic trek  for my amazing ,brave and beautiful cousin Wendy Blackman who on the 22nd April 2014 lost her battle to cancer .I wanted  the money raised to support  families throughout their own difficult journeys. Recognising how hard it has been on my own family and friends dear to Wendy. This experience holds several challenges for me, one with me requiring a good fitness level and stamina, secondly for me to manage the Icelandic staple diet of whale, horse meat and even sheep's head!!!!! As a non-fish eater and only eating lamb chops in floods of mint sauce this will definitely be an experience far from my comfort zone on top of coping with the significant climate change 

The trek takes us through the  incredible Icelandic terrain , of sand , lava fields , mountains  and glaciers and we will be hiking  for approximately 8 hours a day, in varying weather conditions.We will spend  our nights recovering and re-energising  in wooden huts  and experiencing the real cold, not like home when I complain if the heating is  off!
