Just 4 days left to go!! The final prepartions are under way all that is left to do is collect my foriegn currency tomorrow and decide on my outfit for the celebratory evening in Peru after the trek. (and pack those final few things that as of yet I am unaware of but am sure to have forgotten!!)

I would like to thanks my Auntie Tracey and Uncle Geoff for the cheque that arrived in the post this morning!!

I am over the moon that I have managed to raise another £80 in just 24 hours and have also had people tell me that they will sponsor me another £15 which I will count when I recieve it! My total now stands at £940!!!

Its now 5 days until I leave for Peru and a last minute email has led to a few more sponsors :)

Thankyou to Andrew Dyer, Mark Burgess and Alia Khan for their donations today! I would also like to thank Emma, a collegue of my dads, for her kind donation!

The bags are almost packed and there are just a few last minute things to do and I will be ready! Cannot believe the trek is almost here!!

With just 2 weeks to go until I leave for the trek I should really be writing here that I have been extremely bust training, but I have to admit that there has been little training here Im afraid!! I really should get out and about in preparation for the trek!! although in saying that, I did plenty of hill walking in center parcs last week so that should count for something I suppose!

Just totaled up all the money paid to the NAS and the money I still have to pay in and the current total stands at £839, which is great, I would love to reach £1000 before I leave for the trek but with just 2 weeks to go I expect this is highly doubtful!

Well Im off today to buy my sleeping bag, or I shall be very chilly at the top of the mountain sleeping in just my thermals!!
