Amy's been ill...

Hello! Apologies for neglecting this blog ever so slightly recently! We've not really got a great deal to tell you except for the following two facts:
1.) Amy's been poorly for the past week, so that's halted our already lax training routine. Not to be helped, and thankfully she's now on the mend :)
2.) We've already excelled our target!! Our justgiving page has reliably informed us that we've now got 132% of our target, and all thanks to the lovely people that have supported us so far by donating!

Amy and I have been on the phone today and, all being well, we'll be travelling to Youlgrave next weekend and probably walking from there to Matlock Bath.

Because of the fact that we've not had as much opportunity to 'train' as we originally anticipated, we did consider splitting the walk into two 9 mile walks. However, because we've already gained so much money on the pretence that we're walking the full 18 miles in one day, we came to the joint conclusion that it's probably better to stick to what we agreed. This way, we don't ruffle any feathers, and it doesn't appear as thought we're deceiving those who have already agreed to sponsor us.

Thanks for reading!

We forgot to show you the T-Shirts!

Here are some pictures of the T-Shirts that we'll actually be wearing on the day! 


 I'm sure that we won't fade into the background too much with these on(!)

Sorry for the lack of updates!

Hi! Sorry that we've not been able to update the blog for quite a while! 


In the time that's passed since our last blog we've been on several more training walks, and we've also been to London to celebrate Katie's birthday... Here are some pictures that we've taken along the way:


Amy looking across the fields.

A healthy birthday dinner for the two of us!

We've got at least three long distance walks planned for the week ahead, so we'll let you know how they go!

Thanks for reading!
Katie and Amy
