So we are nearly there on the planning front for our trip. After our false start last time and the failed attempt 2 years ago I am more than ready to knock this walk off my list!

We have just bought the final bits and pieces for the kit, and all that is left to do now, is buy some food (mmmm food!) and get my stove off Steph as she is away climbing for the week (lucky so and so) for work in Devon.

I'm looking forward to it and to spending some time with my mate Tom on the walk. Get to know him a bit better and generally be a lad! Not done that since I moved down to Kent. Rekon this will be a good start for training for Elbrus next year.

Will keep you updated on events
