Erm - blog ??

48 weeks ago I set up this blog page to blog about my Kili training & progress. I wrote one page.....I'm guessing denial kicked in. So rather than the last post of "I'll be at the summit in a year" with a gradual countdown, I'm now at "3 weeks today I will be on the plane on the way there". Oh well.

I'm clearly not fit enough but last Friday sent off my visa application, and booked my jabs. Yesterday I started getting my kit together. Yes, I know, all a bit last minute. That's just me. It's driving Matt mad but I stress more if I try and be organised. Don't like the pressure.

In my head I don't see any reason why I can't do it. It might be slow but I can walk 6 hours a day. I'm glad I feel like that as mental attitude is the thing that gets you there according to the blogs. Only half the people who tried that I spoke to make it and that's a worry as its the altitude sickness that does it. I don't do sick. And there is the issue that it can kill you but I'm not going to think about that....
