Just thought I would add a final post before we set off, did an 11 mile hill walk last Sunday in a staggering time of 3 hours 37 minutes, an exceptional result.
The knee held out and felt good and have had a final going over by a physio, so both legs straight as they ever will be..
We set off tomorrow morning at 5am to Snowdon, pick up the Minibus there and then head off to Fort William, head down for the night and a 6am start for Ben Nevis, if timings go according to plan then we should complete the first one by around midday, then off to Scarfell Pike where we will hopefully reach the summit for sunset. A night drive to Mount Snowdon which we hope to climb and descend by 6am.
The training has been a great experience and Sam as a 14 year old has shown great self belief and not once has he moaned when being dragged out of bed at 5am, this will be a fantastic experience for both of us and despite last minute nerves settling in am looking forward to it now.
Will post photos etc when we return..
See you on the other side.
