Llangollen Round certificate...

Nice surprise in the post today...  fantastic cause and very well organised event.

Massive training day yesterday....

Did the second half of the Llangollen Round, 24 miles up and down over 7 mountains climbing nearly 4000 feet and descending 5000 feet. Lasted 7 hours and burt over 2600 calories.  My legs and feet are feeling the pain today.  I am so chuffed with myself for doing this and feel ready for the wall now.

I would like to thank every single one who has sponsored me so far, you are so thoughtful and I promise to get the wall covered in the 5 days.

3 weeks to go til I head to Newcastle !!!

Here are some pics of yesterdays epic trek... and thank you once more.  Please feel free to comment on this site.
