Story

I have recently signed up for my next trip with Macmillan. I am planning on hiking to Base Camp Everest in November 2013, My fundraising has not began yet but I have set up this page. Please sponsor us if you feel this is a worthwhile challenge, or support my mission to Everest, something which I have considered for a while but have struggled with leaving Tom and the children for 3 weeks. The trek to Base Camp will be challenging as it goes up to 5445m, and we trek at this altitude for a few days. I suffered with the altitude in Kilimanjaro but I think this will be one of Macmillans most challenging treks and I look forward to another challenge.

Ok, Ok time is moving forward and it is now about 8 weeks until I go. I am finally trying to get my head around what I need to organise before I dog. booking the flight from Glasgow to London has happened, so this is half way there!!! Rounding up my kit list and first aid kit will be the next thing. My training has moved up a notch and I am now walking 5 miles, 5 days a week. Longer walks needed to be added soon, but the time it all takes makes it harder to plan them at the moment. I am now feeling a bit more prepared but I am a bit more anxious.......
