Our Training Week in Yorkshire, Shrewsbury and Leicestershire Has Come to an End!

It has been a good week, ok we did get wet a few times (but thats why we have waterproofs), but the sun also shined on us a plenty.  We have walked 61.6 miles (99.2 km) and a total elevation of 12,339 ft ( 3,761m ).  This was a test to see how we would cope with walking a lot of days.  Ok we did have days in between, but they were spent walking around exploring where we were.  In York we must have covered several miles, our hotel was 1.5 miles to the centre itself.

I hope you enjoy reading the blogs, and will continue to do so.  Please leave a comment when you have read them, so I can read your responses.  :)

It is only 7 weeks before we head on our big adventure to Everest Base Camp in Nepal, and we are beginning to get all our gear sorted.  There is a lot to prepare and we have our weekends that are occupied with trips etc, also we are taking a family group (yes Team Cooper mascot Alistair McAlistair is coming :D) up Ben Nevis (highest mountain in the UK) on the 8th of Sept.

As we have said in the beginning, we are funding this adventure ourselves but want to raise money for two charities, the British Heart Foundation and Afasic Scotland.  You can see the links on the right, please, please donate a pound or two.  Every penny helps these two important charities, charities that have a direct effect on so many lives.  If you could also share this blog with friends and families so they two can share our adventures from the comfort of their home. :)

I thankyou for reading our blog, and until the next post... :)
