So ...prior to 21st May, despite being relatively active/fit, I'd say the furthest I'd walked/hiked would be about 7K (walking / hiking is not really my thing :-) ). On the 21st May I did 14k as a trial run for the three peaks challenge I will be doing as part of Team Redcentric on 1st June.
On 1st June we will be hiking roughly 42k and climbing higher than Ben Nevis in a target time of 9-10 hours.
My first thoughts are "its just a walk, how hard can it be?" - well after last weekend I think I may have underestimated it. Needless to say it will be a challenge.
So why are we doing this - well, it's to support the Children's Heart Surgery Fund, who support babies, children and adults with congenital heart disease.
Please wish us good luck - better still if you are able to donate a couple of pounds you would be supporting a fabulous cause.
Thank you.....
