Final Final Preparations

As the title alludes to I have been in the final stages of preparations for the last couple of days, and tonight I am in the final final stages! I have even polished my boots!!

People have been asking me how I feel in the run up to the start day and I always answer that I have mixed emotions. I am nervous about the journey and what it may entail but I am also excited about what lays ahead and the adventure of it all.

Anticipation is a double edged sword, one half of me is busting a gut to get going and is taking it all in my stride while the other half is asking if I’m fit enough? Have I made adequate preparations? Was the route planning up to scratch? and a million other questions?

Planning for this walk started almost 18 months ago when it was a wee glimmer in the back of my head. Now I’m just over 12 hours from the first boot on the ground and it all feels very surreal.

I’m just wondering what wee Amelia would feel about all this? :)
