It's Update Time

Over the past couple of months I've been walking 10 miles regularly and have been going to the gym and dieting in order to get fit for the walk. But as a team we've been doing quite a bit too. So, 5 months away from the event, how is the preparation going??:

Fundraising

We have arranged a fundraising gig to be held on 17th February in the Fox and Firkin, Lewisham. The main act will be Hey Gravity! We still need 100% confirmation that there will be support bands but as long as this is confirmed (today) the gig will go ahead.

We have 2 fundraising days at shopping centres planned to raise money for the event, one at the Whitgift Centre in Croydon on 3rd March and one on the 5th May at Bromley Glades.

We are in the early stages of preparation for a Pub Quiz, which was originally to be held in March but may need to be postponed.

Walking

We currently have a practice walk planned for the 24th February (Seven Sisters, South Downs) and for the 25th February (Box Hill, North Downs). This will give us our first chance to get used to walking twice in the space of 48 hours.

We have Lake District practice walks planned for 20th - 22nd April where we will be spending some of the time getting some tips from 24 Peaks organisers and the rest of the time getting in as much practice walking as possible.
