A quick catch up before the first big challenge

So it's been a while since our last post and there are a few bits to catch up on before we push ourselves to the limit tomorrow and undertake the Yorkshire 3 Peaks!

First some statistics - I love a good stat!
Since the beginning of the year (which is when we really started the training for our trek) we have;
- ran 59.8 miles
- walked 31.3
- cycled 13
- swam 1 mile
A total of 105.1 MILES. That's one and a half Kilimanjaro Treks :)

Foggy start
No I-dear
Our training has continued with an 8 hour walk round Charnwood. We started in Bradgate park and walked via the Leicestershire round to Markfield and then Thornton Reservoir.

After a sport of lunch we continued on the Ivanhoe Way, round Bardon Hill and looped back to Beacon Hill.

The final leg was through Woodhouse Eaves and Swithland Woods back to Bradgate. 19miles in total and a good practise for the 25 miles on Saturday


Spooky Castle
Finally a big thank you to Morrisons, who let us do a bucket collection outside their Loughborough store and we raised just under £70
