Tomorrow is the first "event" that I've entered this year - the South Wales Three Peaks Challenge.
This is a 20 mile hike around Abergavenny, covering the Skirrid, the Blorange, and Sugarloaf. I was going to do some training or walking or finish breaking in my hiking boots before this hike, but never mind, I did not. I was also going to re-waterproof my jacket... oops x2.
The weather is looking uninspiring at the moment - it's been raining for 48 hours straight but forecast is a bit better than what we've had:
Brewer half has just realized we do not have a map, and is now driving to get one at 11:10pm on a Friday night.

I'm not really prepared for this in any way, but I did go to Tescos and found Pepperidge Farm Cookies!
And I got sandwich materials, so I think that's pretty much all I need.
They actually changed the route this year because of the bad weather, so it may not really go to all three peaks! Which is a bit of a bummer, but it's still an effing long hike.
I'm in charge of waking the Brewer Half up and getting us to the start. Brewer half is in charge of all navigating.
I am in charge of waking up and getting to the start point. I know we need to leave at 7:00am so alarm is set for 6:15am. I am going to sleep at 11:15 on a friday, so as to have enough sleep for a good hike...
Demitri Martin has made my favorite quote about hiking:
Hiking is just walking where it's okay to pee.
I couldn't find that quote, but he's a funny guy, here's a clip!
Anyways, wish us luck internets!
