Hi All, I am on the blag!
My wife and a family friend are doing this 32 mile fundraising walk to support a charity that has and still are giving wonderful support to said friend’s son.
They do great work and if any of you reprobates fancy chipping in that would be great.
They did a 24 mile training walk yesterday so should make the distance. 
Any help is very much appreciated.
Chipped in.
Between pressures on NHS funding and recent increases in staff costs hospices are under a lot of financial stress at the moment. They need all the help they can get.
Good luck to Mrs Cosmo. The mountains of Norfolk shouldn’t be too bad, but 32 miles is still a loooong way in a day.
Thanks Graeme, it is along way, they were pretty broken after the 24 mile training walk.
I would need a good snooze after 8 miles!
I can only speak for myself but I found that after 20-25 miles the pain didn’t get any worse. It stopped being a physical struggle and just became a mental one (“Why the fuck am I continuing to do this ?”). That’s where being on something organised, or doing it for a good cause, or maybe walking with companions can really help.
I was being lighthearted about the climb of course, but looking into the trail it seems that some of it is on dunes/beach. Shingle and sand, at least dry sand, gives and that can take it out of you.
I hope the weather’s kind !
Yeah the beach bits will be far harder going, I think their plan is to not rush the awkward bits and get a wriggle on when the going is easier and you can get into a rhythm.
I might suggest a Rocky style training montage as that always seems to work.
Unfortunately, due to the chance of thunder/lightning the charity have postponed the walk.
Will update once they have made a decision regarding rescheduling.
Thanks again to those have donated.
