Another week nearer to departure day!!!! Seven weeks and counting. I've booked my flights from Manchester to Heathrow and have been getting the rest of the kit I need. I bought a sleeping bag at the weekend - hopefully the comfort temperature of -6 will be enough keep me warm! I might even buy a fleece liner as a safeguard - nothing worse than being cold in bed. I've also bought a rucsac on ebay but am waiting for it to arrive.
Im really starting to feel the benefits of fitness training - went for a ten mile hike at the weekend over the moors and up and down hills and still had enough energy afterwards to do a load of digging in the garden!!!! Still going to the gym twice a week and have lost quite a few pounds and toned a few muscles. Haven't heard from the Doctors yet about my injections - better give them a ring.
