Organisation

My god there seems to be a lot of stuff to sort out. I thought this would be an easy 'get a few people together, do a bit of training then carry out the challenges'. Not a bit of it!

After a touch more investigation realism is slowly entering my world. I need to figure how to read an OS map properly with the aid of a compass and I need to make sure everyone else is fairly proficient at this also. I need first aid training just in case someone gets injured - a band aid may not cut the mustard. I need to try and visit each peak and sort out a route, I have to visit Scafell Pike in the dark and try the route so it's not too much of a shock during the actual challenge.

I've still not even walked more than a couple of miles so I'm guessing this is going to be the first thing to get sorted. Can I actually walk 25 miles without needing the Air Ambulance? At the moment I wouldn't be able to say with any certainty that I could. This weekend should sort out that question anyway as I intend to try and walk 20 miles along the Severn Way or Glyndwr's Way. Oh well, let's try and hold reality back till the weekend and assume it should be a piece of cake!
