..... when an appeal went out on facebook for a 4th member of a team for trailwalker it seemed to good an opportunity to miss.
So I am now a member of Team 'Fruitcakes' where baking seems as important as walking.

looking back.....and forward....
What a journey from the first walk of 3 miles to 63 miles in only 5 months!
As a team we have laughed, cried, screamed and hugged,
we have supported each other through personal trauma, medical injury, through hungover walks and learned to laugh when its painful (I'm thinking of those hailstones!)
spent hours talking nonsense and had more discussions about our horrible feet than was probably needed
Some thanks:
A mention of our support crew who were wonderful, and really did step up in the end, they turned up, sat in the sunshine having a BBQ, talking to pretty girls dressed as nurses and never once complained - our heros!!
Thanx to Sam with out whom we would never have left Hetton, and to the 2 medical guys who sat and patted my hands while I cried, and cried also with out whom I would never have left Hetton.
Thanks to John and Simon for their harsh words at Conistone we felt less than thankful at the time, but it was what was needed.
I'm sad that our journey is sort of over........ but excited that it will start again.........
To next year...... and to getting right all the things we got wrong.....to the weather being just right (not too hot, or to cold, no hail or snow)
To Team 'Caminata' x.x.x
I will wake the blog back up in September when we start training again!!

Looking confident at the start
Making it to the top of Pen-y-Ghent
I was ill between Malham and the bottom of Founatin Fell so we lost time in this section
Steph and Su looking like they are on holiday at check point 2.
Simons Soup got us all up and moving again!
Water Stop between check point 2 and 3
Sun Rise!
At the top of the last climb! If you think you could climb this after walking 90K - you can do Trailtrekker!
There were many times we thought we would never get here.......
