where do I start?
A bit in that I've finally signed up for this having thought about it for years.
I am not the fittest of people, in fact, I'd go as far to say I'm pretty unfit although I have been seeing a personal trainer once a week since February and she is pleased with my progress.
Its next May, so I have a bit of time but a lot of work to do. I'm probably about 2 - 2 1/2 stone overweight so that needs to go and I need to build on my existing routine (normally 1 hour pw with personal trainer and 2 x 45 mins sessions during the week).
Have to get a medical form signed by GP first and am hoping that there won't be any problems. Have to tick yes to a few of the things on the list but most of them were 10+ years ago and have done two treks since then. Did China 6 years ago and Jordan last year but they are apparently just a 'walk in the park' compared to MP. Only thing to change since last trek is that I now have diabetes and I'm hoping this won't be an issue. Only type 2 so keeping fingers crossed that they will let me go.
So, any advice from experienced trekkers? Have I aimed too high?
