It's the day £2,000!!!

So, what's happened recently...well the gig was a resounding success, raising an impressive £450 for the cause, and sice thaen we have moved onto a total of £2,000! That's 40% of our total!

Plans are finalised fora trip up to the lakes in April to take part in a mountain awareness course. This will improve our navigation skills and teach us about bad weather, escape routes and all the things we'll need to know for the main event.

Personally, I've been hitting the gym at least four mornings a week, and have been out walking every lunchtime - so this means I'm doing about 20 miles a week, although admittedly this isn't over very strenuous terrain!

It's Update Time

Over the past couple of months I've been walking 10 miles regularly and have been going to the gym and dieting in order to get fit for the walk. But as a team we've been doing quite a bit too. So, 5 months away from the event, how is the preparation going??:

Fundraising

We have arranged a fundraising gig to be held on 17th February in the Fox and Firkin, Lewisham. The main act will be Hey Gravity! We still need 100% confirmation that there will be support bands but as long as this is confirmed (today) the gig will go ahead.

We have 2 fundraising days at shopping centres planned to raise money for the event, one at the Whitgift Centre in Croydon on 3rd March and one on the 5th May at Bromley Glades.

We are in the early stages of preparation for a Pub Quiz, which was originally to be held in March but may need to be postponed.

Walking

We currently have a practice walk planned for the 24th February (Seven Sisters, South Downs) and for the 25th February (Box Hill, North Downs). This will give us our first chance to get used to walking twice in the space of 48 hours.

We have Lake District practice walks planned for 20th - 22nd April where we will be spending some of the time getting some tips from 24 Peaks organisers and the rest of the time getting in as much practice walking as possible.

It works!

Hurrah!

Now, if I paste this code in, stuff should happen...



Lets see...

Ahh, just a quick update before the year turns over. Our next sort-of-practice walk is scheduled for the 6th January, we're going to walk the route round the Seven Sisters country park in Eastbourne with another 24 Peaks team who will be taking part the week before us.

Should be good.

Fundraising is going fairly well, we have a number of ideas with much potential, the difficulty is getting them offf the ground! Keep an eye out for a charity gig sometime in the new year!
