I'm off on my first training walk in a few hours, camping at Hayfield in the Dark Peak area Fri/Sat .. hoping to get a good days walk in up to Kinder Downfall & Kinder Scout, then down the valley to Edale.

If the weather is good I'll do some more walking on the Sunday, hoping to be back home (3-4 hr drive) late Sunday evening.

If anyone would like to find out more about my 200 mile charity walk and/or sponsor me, please check out my website here (http://www.c2cwalk2009.co.uk).

Hoping for sunshine and light winds!

Well, if you get tired, just imagine there's a hand bag shop at the end of your trek, that usually works doesn't it?

Good luck!

Not one for handbags myself! Hehehe!
