Its a couple of weeks since we've had a full team walk but that certainly doesn't mean that Trailwalker is forgotten! As we concentrate on our own individual training, the fundraising and planning for the event have taken precedence just recently. In a week's time we will be holding our Snailwalk and hope that many friends and colleagues will join us for a 5 mile saunter around the Wirral coast, finishing at a local pub....well, its a great way to encourage involvement!! In addition, we continue to have our collecting tins out on the tills in work and the wonderful M&S customers continue to throw in anything from their loose change to the occasional note - fantastic way of adding to the team total with minimum effort.
Planning for the actual event has also come to the fore in the last couple of weeks; we have booked a Premier Inn for the night before in Petersfield and we have booked a Premier Inn for the Sunday night just 11 miles from the finish. Needless to say, Team Coliseum won't need a bed for the Saturday night....we'll be trudging our way towards the finish line. The support team haven't yet decided but think they will just catch some sleep in the cars, especially as none of us are heading back to Cheshire on the Sunday. We can all recharge our batteries before heading north again on Monday.
The other piece of good news is that my hubby has managed to get a lovely new Freelander 4x4 for the whole weekend from his employers, Jaguar Land Rover! Although we are hoping for dry conditions, at least the support team will have one vehicle that can cope with "off road" conditions, should they need it.
So time is marching on....how many weeks left till D-Day? Oh, lets not think about that.
Just keep on Walking!
