Yvette - I'm going to learn how to walk... The majority of my exercise will be something of a 'fun' activity... lol

Well so far i have been doing an hour a day walking, except for the weekend :-( , and i spent the morning in a gym week before last, but i am hoping to get back to the gym at least twice a week on top of my walking, time allowing. I will have to get my boots sorted this week, then the walking will be more beneficial. As for Sister Rebeccas form of exercise.....sounds much more fun than walking, lol Yvette

my 'training' consists of weekend walks, which hopefully will start becoming more regular. Managed a six and a half mile one yesterday and that went fine. If you are going walking out in the country, I seriously recommend getting these trekking stick thingys...think of ski sticks and hopefully you'll know what I mean. They start to come into their own when you've got uphill terrain, take some of the pressure off the legs.

Daisy, I spent £80 on some gortex Berghaus (sp?) boots from John Lewis last week, have walked a few miles in them over the weekend, and they're brilliant :) NB, got proper trekking socks from Millets too, £9.99 a pair !!!

Pink has asked me to post this here. The catch all fundraising site is www*.*bmycharity*.*com/v2/pinkfund (don't forget to remove asterisks). Daisy

I looked at two pairs, the goretex ones and a pair of very lightweight brown leather (ish?) ones. The chap on JL seemed to think the Berghaus ones were better suited for all weather and gave better ankle support, so I went on his advice (I think they look nicer too !). They do the same boots in Millets, in a range of colours lol
