Decisions have been made. The long walk is confirmed and it will be the Thames Path from Cirencester to London, a total of over 300 kilometres. With a few days sightseeing along the way it will take around 20 days.
Stephanie, a friend from Brisbane and I will be taking this little stroll in September this year. We have already booked our first few nights accommodation, so it is really happening.
Here is a list I made a couple of weeks ago. Urgent things to do in preparation.
1. Get back on my 5:2 eating plan, I want to drop 6 kilos before September✓
2. Get my knee checked out - specialist appointment booked ✓
2. Increase the lengths of my walks; 2 walks per week with at least one around 15 kilometres or more.
3. Keep reading the Thames Path information book to make sure I don't miss anything important ✓
4. Start walking with increased weight in back pack.
5. Experiment with ingredients to make some lowish calorie Muesli Bars.
6. Do a trial pack to check my back is big enough.✓
As you can see I am pretty good at procrastination
7. Buy a bigger pack - mine isn't big enough.
