Preparation

Training today in the Brecon Beacons, 10 miles in varied weather conditions including sun and sleet. Enjoyed the picnic lunch and lovely views of Pen Y Fan. Unfortunately Paul's GPS system ran out of batteries half way round. This was apparently my fault as I brought the batteries in the pound shop...anyhow luckily we found our way back. We have also spent time in the Lake District, South Coast, and more locally around Bath, wearing in our walking boots on various day-long walks in an attempt to prepare for the forthcoming ordeal..
