it's 11 Sept and with fundraising closing at the month end, we're about done.
We - you - raised £3004 against a target of £2000, so many, many thanks to all who have contributed support, advice & guidance, or money. It's greatly appreciated.
We all seem to have recovered from the experience, although there are a few ongoing niggles. My toenail gave up last night, coinciding with my daughter Lauren losing her first milk tooth, and prompting a family discussion - if there's a Tooth Fairy, is there also a Toenail Fairy, and if so, what's the going rate for a big toenail? Lauren and Mum went into a huddle so I suspect I'll soon find out......
So that's it, job done.
But it's not really over of course, there will be a sequel.
We've all agreed to do the Lakeland 50 next year - "one the greatest ultra running and walking challenges in Europe, perhaps the world"
It's a slightly shorter distance than Trailwalker, but is over rougher terrain with mountain navigation and weather thrown in, and involves around 3,100 metres of ascent vs Trailwalker's 2,500.
Entries open on 1st Oct, and there's no guarantee we'll get a place, however that's the plan.
How hard can it be?
