With a week to go I have now got my Flight details, worked out all my kit, packed and re-packed it and even had the doubt of getting to the top without relying on a tank of oxygen sorted. Just cant wait.

Well, had my medical at the Doctors for my Trek and "wow" they never said I was over weight, must be doing something right. The Travel jabs stung a bit and what ever happened to getting polio in sugar cubes.

Nine weeks to go and time is ticking away for training, I even broke the rowing machine this week, Still glad I have nearly reached my minimum target.

Hikked to the top of Carn Brea via Tregajorran end, great training and very steep but think Monty enjoyed it.

Trained on Saturday 13th by walking from Camborne to St Day via Carn Brea castle, Carn Marth and Gwenap "pit". Two and a half hours and really felt good, even Monty the Dog was panting.
