Evening bloggers!
Finished a final training hike tonight over the Braid hills with a brief stop on the top to admire the sunset over Edinburgh, deck a bottle of champagne and a few roll ups with chief coach Ian. Did the decent thing and threw the poles from a great height onto braid hills golf course narrowly missing a couple of foxes.
We did an approx calculation of the fundraising so far and think we have smashed our target of £10K and moving on up..... Thanks so much to everyone who has helped to raise this sponsorship, it is for a great cause and will make a real difference..so be inspired and one step at a time to Inverness this weekend, coast to coast.
G has organised us all into cars, chalets, start times etc and Duncan has sorted out a party for Sunday evening in Inverness.
I have to confess to have really enjoyed the training for this event ! I love getting up really early in the morning and heading of up the Pentlands before the city is awake. On Saturday there was a bit of a har in and visibility was poor. However, when you got to the top of the first peak you were in bright sunshine and the other peaks looked like the humps of whales in a sea of clouds.
Have packed my tweed suit and brogues, green flash and trusty tin of cremola foam. Goretex of course! chocolate and Irn Bru. All set....

Will update you on the event and post a few team pictures.
