This is it!

So this is it. The moment is upon me. I leave tomorrow on the 1.27pm train from Sheffield to London, from there to Paris and from Paris on the night train to Hendaye, arriving at my starting point around 7am on Tuesday the 5th of August from where the walk will begin in earnest.
I cannot describe the feelings of anxiety and stress which I have right now. The bag is packed, passport and tickets are all here and safe, I am set.
We have raised £189.10, meaning a gift aid supplement has been received of £42.05. At £150 I sent off the forms for Atos Healthcare to double the sponsorship received, meaning the grand total to day stands at £381.15! This is a great achivement and way past any expectations I had to begin with of how much we could raise. Well done and thank you to everyone who has donated and is still planning to do so.
I really don't know how easy it will be to stay in touch and update my blog while I'm out there so please, don't worry if there are periods where you don't hear anything. I will be keeping a journal and will update the facebook group and this blog when ever I get the chance.
Well what more is there to say. I will be thinking about everybody here and I already look forward to the next time we all meet when I get back, so keep the beer cold. Goodbye for now.
