Officially signed up to this! Can't wait for the torture (again!!).

Here's hoping we have a good day with no injuries.

It is tough going but it really is an epic challenge. An amazing feeling when you complete events like this.

I'm signed up but am having knee trouble at the moment. I may decide to give it a miss if things haven't improved. No point in making things worse. I've done the walk eighty-one times so far.

Are you a memeber of The Ramblers Club? If so, can I PM you question regarding club membership?

Gravale
