One month to go
The usual excitement symptoms are here: a sick feeling that I have too much yet to prepare & that it's a ridiculous thing to attempt. Surely I will get exhausted after 10 days & go home. Blagging it Yet I press on, surely boring everyone I meet with my only conversation topic. I include myself as getting fed up hearing my own repetitions, even as I do it by email. But I want to tell people 'cos I am excited AND I want walking companions to share this with and not go bonkers. Talking to Bethan on the Park Run this morning - her Dad did E2E in 2009. His book title "In Expectation of a Kingfisher" should win an award on its own for originality. Apparently he documented plants & birds he saw en route, doing about 11 miles a day (from March 10th into July, with a trip home!) & blagged coffees from farmhouses. That's what I would call leisurely, sounds great. Recent walks, testing gear : One two hour walk around Sale Water Park, & one 5 hour
