Getting close

I have decided that I will be leaving Braemar on the 7th of march. I will drive to my parents near edinbrugh and overnight there. on the 8th I will drive the length of the UK to Portsmouth to meet the rest of the Rainbow runners.

The local scout group are very kindly doing shoe boxes for me to take to the kid in The Gambia,

Braemar School is donating some school books,

I have acquired a wheel chair from somewhere and a mate who shall remain nameless has donated a hospital bed, (my bed for the run) and this will be donated along with the bus and every thing in it!

preparations are ongoing, yesterday involved Tesco a Trolley and about 100 assorted tins and other food items, (this gave me a fuel voucher and a discount voucher for more!!)

the ferry bookings arrived yesterday, 

the bus is in Aberdeen being fettled as we speak, I picked up the spare seats for it last weekend,

I have been used as a pincushion several times, the last being the expensive one Yellow fever. 

gosh it is getting really close.

I will keep you updated!!
