Time Moves On!!

I guess you are never "fit enough" or consider yourself adequately prepared for such undertakings. A quick, flying visit up to the lakes at the end of last week was on the one hand reassuring......planning and organisation wise, but simultaneously a bit daunting. Joanne had a dip in Windermere, where she has to swim 10plus miles in a few weeks time and it was a little "fresh". Kayak wise, she and her Mum have practised together for Loch Awe and also some rescue drills for Windermere.....just in case! John's been recce ing the Fells and we've run through the routes/ take over points etc. I have put in a few more bike miles and feel a bit happier....or at least I did until I plotted the route for the first two cycle legs at 310 miles with 26 000 ft of climbing!! Ouch! Once I've finished the detailed route plotting I'll publish a list of each day's targets.
