| Dr. Polly |
We are pleased to announce that Lee's girlfriend Polly has agreed to join us on Trailwalker 2012. You may recall Polly (or should we say Dr. or Prof. Polly?) joined us earlier in training on Training Walk #4 and was part of our support team.
She is an accomplished fell runner, keen mountain biker, university lecturer and is currently in training for several mad challenges she has set herself this year. Our only worry is how we're going to slow her down from running the course, so we're currently looking into whether she can carry all our backpacks and putting lead in her boots when shes not looking.
So there we are, our search is over, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly are now D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers (cue arguments about who is who)....

| Nice outfits guys - GoreTex? |
On a sponsorship note, since raising our target to £2,000 we have had such a great response, we decided to raise it again to £3,000. We would like to thank Bill Swan, John Grime, Shield Environmental, Andrew and Helen, Ellie Roberts, Jason Drake, Our Anonymous sponsor, Clive Parry, Rick Robins, Jill Finn, Cindy, Ashleigh, Bev at Carden and Tim Peach - thanks to you all, we have reached £2,112.14 raised so far. By raising the target to £3000 we have put ourselves forward for training with the Gurkhas though this is first come first served so we wait and see if we get an invite - gulp!
With it being Easter weekend, things are a little disrupted from a training point of view. Lee and Polly head to Scotland for the week and will be getting plenty of mountain biking in - good luck with the snow guys. Mark and Martin are tackling another section of the Sandstone Trail on Saturday meeting up at a pub (where else?) near Beeston at 8.30am and aiming for 23km through Tarporley, Eaton and Utkinton in 4hours 30mins target. The proposed route is here.
Have a great Easter break everyone.
