Last Training Yomp

Last training run today, before the big day on May 19th. As those of you who went on geography field trips to view limestone countryside will know, this is Malham Cove, one of the wonders of the northern world. We did 11miles with full pack and seemed to manage OK. The test will come on the 4th or 5th consecutive day of walking.
While we won’t be watching Liverpool beat Sevilla in Spain as this is played the night before we leave, we will be there for the Champions League final, hopefully in Burgos, where we will attempt to find the Atletico bar in which to watch Diego Simeones men put one over Real.
The next post will be from somewhere in France, assuming Eurostar or the hotel in Paris have weefee, unless of course we poison ourselves with permethrin, which we intend spraying the sleeping bags with to keep the bedbugs away!
