Being so close to our main event, we thought it would be nice to re-walk somewhere we could comfortable compare our progress and boost our confidence in how far we have progressed.
Big mistake!
Everything felt harder! It has been so busy this month that practising has been squashed in around end of term must attend events, last minute admin for the trip and trying to live a normal life that was not all about how many mph did we reach and what calories were burnt. So, although we have walked and walked and walked, they were not hard enough. Especially the urban tactic. What we needed were hills and more hills. Especially as we recently found out that if we add each incline of the walk together it is the equivalent of hiking up Mount Everest. Not bad for a summer jaunt. For now, though, the hills seems unsurpassable. OUCH!
Tomorrow we are going to tackle just that. 😓😓😓. Yes, it really deserves a triple sad sweaty face emoji. They will match mum's real face tomorrow.
Still, the good news is that after the terrible tragedy of our foraging hike, we managed to find a look-likey actress to play the part of 'Lizzie' for the rest of our trip. And we must admit we have grown terribly fond of her already.
