I'm setting off from the front gates of Buckingham Palace in September and walking all the way to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh (420 miles) to raise money for the Lymphoma Research Fund (through the Nottingham University Hospitals Charity N.U.H.). I will be trying to update this blog as often as possible along the walk. If you would like to donate, please go to www.justgiving.co.uk/palacetopalace2010 Thank you!

The countdown has begun..
Just back from the beautiful hills of Aberdeenshire after a lovely holiday with family and friends - plenty of eating and walking. Here's a photo of one of THE best views in Scotland - Glen Muick. The clouds descended and the skies opened a few minutes after this was taken. After pretty much incessant rain all week, i now feel that i have thoroughly road tested my kit. No further problems with my ankles so i am going to risk taking my much loved walking boots as they seem to have held up rather well. This time next week, i will have completed day 1 - oh joy. I will be setting off with Ben and my brother Charlie (who has flown all the way over to London from Sydney) by my side for the first few days which will be a good start to my big adventure. The challenge over the next few days is trying to finalise all the arrangements and pack up all my stuff. Knowing that i have to carry it all on my back for 420 miles is a great incentive to pack light!
