Now I am committed

Friday 19th, and after a brief chat with my local GP and a small amount of form filling,  he has declared there is no reason for me not to attempt this trip. With that done, Saturday was passport photo's for the final registration, and then the purchase of a pair of hiking boots.

They look  a little bright, but surprisingly thus far very comfortable. My intention was to try them out on Sunday with a short walk, however the onset of a cold on Friday, which progressively got worse, plus a DIY chore at my "to be" mother in law meant no walk. However I did wear them on Sunday while I did the DIY, as yet again we had snow, and after 3 hours of wear had no side effects. So I best start contemplating a walk in them.

With the intial pieces of the puzzle in place, I am now down to my strategy for fund raising, so watch out, as communication about how to sponsor my event are soon to be on their way.
