Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In the autumn of 2022, I will be travelling to the Andes to walk the Inca Trail.

I have paid for this trip myself, so any donation will go 100% to charity.

The trip will involve walking up to ten hours a day for five days, camping overnight and doing all of this at altitude.  In one day alone, the trek goes from an altitude of 2,900m to 4,200m and then back down to 3,500m.  In context, this is like going up Ben Nevis and back in a day, at a higher altitude, camping overnight and then doing most of it again the next day!  This is not going to be a holiday!

The adventure starts now.  Not only do I need to improve my overall cardio fitness, but I need to build up my knees so that they can take this beating.  The trek to Machu Picchu is merely going to be the final sprint of a long marathon.

Please sponsor me, for whatever you can afford.  Remember, all your donation goes to charity.

Thank you!
