The Challenge approaches!!

With just three days before we leave to travel North things are getting hectic.
Our Total raised for Cancer Research is now over £4,400.   
Thank you and keep it coming we can not explain what this means to us it has been totally amazing.
The main reason for this entry on the blog is for me to try out the new bluetooth keyboard I purchased for £7.25p inc postage from Ebay.
I find, having large fingers, typing on the phone is very time consuming so this should be a big help.

Boots are cleaned and clothes pretty much sorted. 
I have checked and double checked our navigation aids, maps, waterproof map case, compass and guide book. We shall carry the GPS but I don't think we will need this for navigation. We want to record the total distance that we walk so a stock of batteries is required.

The three of us are now looking forward to walking together and experienceing the 'delights' that A.Wainwright has devised for us, on this classic journey, over the next two weeks.

The next Blog will be on Saturday, when we have a night in Kirkby Stephen before we leave the car in secure parking and take the Packhorse bus to St.Bees, on Sunday am.
We will do our best to post on a daily basis and include photos where we can get WiFi

We welcome any comments on the blog and if you do not have any of the accounts required to post you can do it by selecting anonymous as your profile but please leave your name on the comment before you publish it.
Anyone who wants to donate to our charity can still do it via the justgiving link on several pages of this blog.
