Week 3 Review

Completed the schedule for the week by getting in a couple of hilly road runs on Friday and Saturday to take the week's total to 35 miles and 4350 feet of ascent. That means I'm only 6 miles and 700 feet behind schedule for the month. A run with my daughter and her fiancé started off week 4 well but suffering a bit with a cold but not too bad so expect to get the big walk in on Wednesday and maybe something tomorrow. It looks like it will be very blustery but at least we'll not get as much rain as the Lakes have experienced over the weekend.
Concern about me taking on the walk solo has led to an offer of sponsorship of a GPS so many thanks to Brian. Before he purchases it, I need to ensure that they actually work in the Pyrenees so will be hunting contacts on various forums for advice. I noticed from the latest Fellrunner that P&B's Gary Devine now lives in the Ariège so maybe a useful contact for local knowledge.

  1. Grordon, If you have a GPS Enabled phone (and of course a phone signal) Google Latitude can be installed to show you where you are but also will also upload your position to the internet so others can see where you currently are.
