One week to go - volcanic ash willing

Well, this is a new departure - blogging, I mean. One week to go til I leave for my long walk through the Pyrenees and the biggest challenges at the moment are the technology - setting up a blog from zero knowledge, Justgiving pages so anyone who wants to can donate something to keep me walking, getting the new iPhone to do what I want it to do etc.

Then there's the kit list to finalise to make sure no essentials are missed but that I can still carry the pack, not to mention watching the weather information to keep tabs on that pesky cloud of volcanic ash.

I'm a bit of a novice at all this - my only other long walk was the Cotswold Way last autumn - a kind of dry run, except that it wasn't that dry. So, if you happen to stumble across this blog in the next few days - before Friday 23rd April, I suppose - if you have any advice regarding equipment, playlists for the iPod, nutrition etc, feel free to let me have it via the comments section.

In the meantime, forgive the rather rudimentary nature of the blog for the moment. I hope to have time to make it look a bit better. I've no idea what it looks like right now as this is my first post and I haven't looked at the blog page yet.

Back soon, hopefully, with news of progress towards my departure next Sunday, 25th, with my very accommodating husband, who joins me for the first week.
