This last week has seen a flurry of emails about what we all need to take for our walk, blister plasters has featured many times in many posts as have tweezers!
Now being a girl, I can completely get that one would want to look her best at all times, but surely one could tweeze before leaving home for the trip could one not?
It seems that tweezers are featuring highly for one of the team who seems to mention them everytime the subject of what to take comes up. I am baffled, maybe that person is expecting to get splinters, as tweezers are clearly useful for that as well as keeping one's eyebrows at bay. Maybe there is some weird and wonderful use that I have not discovered for them, I therefore wait with baited breath to be enlightened Clare C???
There has also been much discussion about baggage particularly the rucksack. So much choice, but do we get them to carry all our gear or hope that we have a backup team who will be transporting our baggage between lodgings? If thats the case we need a day rucksack.
Having had no apparent reason to go out and invest in a new rucksack before now, I am amazed to find that one can now purchase a rucksack with an "airzone" apparently this is supposed to stop your back from getting all sweaty allowing the air circulate around - how cool (forgive the pun) is that.
But does it really work and how much extra does an airzone cost will definately have to look into that!
Anyway apart from water, snacks and blister plasters I am still none the wiser about what I should be carrying in my new rucksack when I do get around to working out which one I should buy. Definately won't need to take tweezers though, as someone else will obviously have a plentiful supply of those!
On the subject of training, after last week's break from challenges, it seems we are all fighting fit and up for the challenge, I am happy to say that I am hot on Clare C's heels this week, she is not going to get away from me that easily, am planning to try and get to 20,000 steps each day which is just under 9 miles per day. Day one, big tick. Day two, big tick. Mission accomplished thus far....
