So that's it, then. Bag packed, training done, last-minute panics had. All that remains is the journey and the race.I've borrowed a tiny digital video camera with which I hope to record some of the suffering and upload edited bits on to the blog after the event. Big thanks to Piers for answering the extremely last-minute call.
And a huge thanks to everyone who's coughed up their hard-earned so far. At the time of going to press (heh), I'm 88 per cent of the way towards achieving my upwardly revised target of £1,500. It really has been a source of inspiration to see the money mounting up, so thanks again to all of you, who are thankfully too many to mention. Although I might well post up a roll of honour if I ever get through this thing. There's still time to get your name on there as well - just follow this link.
That'll be it now until I return, so thanks for reading and following the ups and downs of what's been an interesting six months. There's no way of knowing whether I've done enough, but whatever happens, I'm a damn site fitter and thinner than I was at Christmas.
Stay tuned for next week's blow-by-blow account of what is more than likely going to be the hardest thing I've ever done.
Pip pip,
Ben
Well done Ben. That's a fantastic achievement. I'm raising a glass to you and your uncle right now.
