Time to put the walking boots on...

When we began to plan walking the West Highland Way seven months ago it seemed a distant event. And now, suddenly, it is here! I think I have prepared fairly well and now I am all packed. I have the blister plasters, sunscreen, midgie repellent, knee and ankle supports quality snacks (and chocolate) and all the other bits and pieces needed for a successful walk. All I have to do now is actually walk it! I will be walking with some wonderful fellow doctors - a Chapter of Doctors, perhaps, and I have no doubt that we will get each other to the end in Fort William. In a moment of confidence loss this morning I said to The Wing Commander, 'What if I don't manage it?' He replied 'You will manage.' Damn, he has good answers! We will all manage and I will keep you up to date with our adventures on here, wifis permitting.
