Nope, but I do a lot of hillwalking. When you going, how fit are you and what's your plan?

I would say 1 being unfit and 10 being superfit, im a 6/7

Its in May, with a team of about 50 for the meningitus trust. I have the plan in my inbox, will copy it later but I know the 2nd mountain is done over night x

Well I run 2 nights a week and daily walk 5 miles anyway so upping it to 3 runs on top of walks, I also live in the national park so will get running on terrain and hills (although not that extent of mountains LOL) a month before it starts we will go and stay for 2 weekends in snowdon and get some practice, but alot of the people doing it are unfitter than me and never done it before, just scared of the lack of sleep!! LOL and blisters

Remember to walk with some weight. Even a water bottle will make a huge difference to you after miles and miles!

Good luck hun

OOOh, good luck!!

I have thought of doing it but I'm majorly unfit!

If it helps at all, my sister doesn't do anything like the amount of exercise you do and she managed Kilimanjaro.... good luck!

I've done all 3 peaks but with a break of a year or two in the middle.
I'm was only average in fitness, i didn't go to the gym or run etc. I just used to walk everywhere with the dog (i live in the country).

Good luck it will be fantastic
