The final training walk took place last weekend. Three of us walked a total distance of 35 miles on Saturday 30th June across Cannock Chase. It took us from 0700 to 2100 including break times (some of which lasted longer than anticipated due to blister treatment). Mike was unfortunately unavailable for the walk, but we did take a cardboard cut out of him along, and found cardboard Mike was much more of a team player than the real thing! As you can see from the pictures below, the weather wasn't too good, and we did have a few navigating problems as usual, but the worst part was the blisters I managed to get on my heal. The first picture shows the damage on the day, and the second one was taken this morning. I have got 10 days to heal, which I'm sure is possible. Having completed just over half the distance we all feel very confident now, and are ready for the main event.
