Today we tackled Edale and Kinder Scout again. So far we've been snowed off twice, rained off once and the other time we completed a walk in the pouring rain. Yesterdays walk was wet and miserable so it didn't bode well for our final training walk.
Sunday dawned dry, arrival in Edale and a strange yellow blob could be seen in the sky, OMG its sunny!
We took the Grindsbrook path which starts off on a nice paved path and then gradually becomes more rocky and then the final half mile is a sheer climb on rocks, great fun. Once at the top it was time to admire the view and have some lunch. Boy did it quickly get cold so onwards across the strange moor, through the rocks that due to weather look like sculptures and eventually down Jacobs ladder and back to Edale.
A fab finale to our training. Sponsors are on about £30,000. On Tuesday we're meeting the Teenage Cancer Ward sisters and Heather from TCT. Boarding tickets can be picked up tomorrow eeek! 10 days and counting.
