This time last week were were at the end of day 1 of the Westminster to Cheltenham run. Today we've been discussing "Rachel's Revenge". If you've followed the story of the run you'll remember Rachel had to drop out after day 2 as she'd gone down with a stomach bug. Day 3 was the day she was really looking forward to, long and hilly - her favourite running conditions.
So we need to get back to Reading and run the route to Swindon with her. Of course the logistics are not so easy. We will need to get overnight bags and runners to Reading, then transport the bags to Swindon along with providing support to the runners along the route. And the days are getting shorter along with the weather deteriorating. The Ridgeway is pretty exposed in the winter and we will be running in the dark for longer. We will either have to go in the next couple of weeks or delay to the spring.
It will all depend on how quickly we can recover.
Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me - £937 raised so far. It's not too late to drop by our Just Giving page and help send 36 Scouts and Explorer Scouts on an international adventure next year
