Almost There!

Its less than 48 hours until we start our way up Ben Nevis at 15.00 on Thursday! I bought my last bit of kit this afternoon and am ready to go, BUT I must admit I am starting to get a little nervous.

The weather is pretty much the same for all three peaks on Thursday and Friday; 7C min 17C max, rain and a poor visibility. Perfect! We did get some good practice though - it rained all the way up Scafell Pike.

Despite the weather, and my nerves, I am looking forward to the challenge. Its going to be hard going and I am sure we will get very tired and there are bound to be a few cross words. I'm quietly confident we will make it over all three mountains (despite the scare stories of uber fit climbers dropping out at the foot of Snowdon). All three in 24 hours will be very, very difficult though.

Fundraising is coming on very well, we are at £3,293.04 our target is £3,500 so we have done really well to raise that amount in six weeks! We do need another £200 by Thursday morning though so if you haven't donated then get you credit card out NOW.
