Plans are put in place
I still have 8 more months before I walk again and this time the John Muir Way or the Scottish Coast to Coast from Helensburgh on the west coast to Dunbar in the east. A mere 218klms walk this time but solo and I have decided to carry a backpack. This is something I vowed I would never do again.
The flights across to Zurich are booked, the 5 day bus tour to Oberammergau for the Passion Play is booked, the flights across to Scotland are booked and I have now started on the walking accommodation bookings. This time I am going to have all my beds paid for before I leave Australia so less money required when over there. I did this when I walked across UK and France in 2017 and found the plan worked a treat.
I am finding I am getting better at what I can take and what I really need to take, things that I can do with out and most times if the item is really needed it can be purchased along the way. I really will not die if I do not have it. I have learnt to live with 2 sets of clothes, one pair I wear and a spare.
I still have not finished writing up the walking book from the Switzerland walk in 2019, so many other things keep getting in the way. A little at a time, there is no big rush. The Switzerland photo album is still waiting to be finished and again there is no big rush.
This walk like all the others will be for Cancer Queensland and in a few months I will start to fundraise again. This time I am hoping to raise $1000. Just a small amount but every little bit helps. Again I will walk for my two brothers Kerry and Lloyd and also other family members and friends who have fought the disease and managed to come out the other side and still smiling. This walk is a little more personal as I have been one of the lucky ones. I am still walking and still smiling.
Over the next few months I will keep you posted on the preparations, my training walks and my sane or crazy days.
