Yvette - I'm going to learn how to walk... The majority of my exercise will be something of a 'fun' activity... lol

Yvette- You do not want to know...

Get yourself down to the Gym and start oggling those firm male buttocks Sister Rebecca, be naughty for once whilst you are experiencing the sisterhood , oh yes and tell us all why you are in the naughty corner this morning !! Susie x

Oh yes you do plan to be naughty during your sisterhood I have just clicked on to your 'FUN' activity thing, silly me !! Susie

Well so far i have been doing an hour a day walking, except for the weekend :-( , and i spent the morning in a gym week before last, but i am hoping to get back to the gym at least twice a week on top of my walking, time allowing. I will have to get my boots sorted this week, then the walking will be more beneficial. As for Sister Rebeccas form of exercise.....sounds much more fun than walking, lol Yvette

Can someone tell a thicko like me,how to set up a webpage lol Ive just walked back from the town,about 4 miles but it took an hour lol.I was knackered,but its really warm up here today. Im already a member of the gym so am going to start to go more often :-S Anna :-)

Hi Anna, you are not the only thicko on here, I am not that great with computers either.. Susie

my 'training' consists of weekend walks, which hopefully will start becoming more regular. Managed a six and a half mile one yesterday and that went fine. If you are going walking out in the country, I seriously recommend getting these trekking stick thingys...think of ski sticks and hopefully you'll know what I mean. They start to come into their own when you've got uphill terrain, take some of the pressure off the legs.

come on guys we need more of you!! Andy have you not talked Johnathon into coming along and filming us yet????? Pin who is on line live at Newcastle train station and its defo NOT warm!! :O)

Chaps, i have just emailed everyone their registration form, medical form, insurance forms and a sponsor form to start you off!! Please get these to me by post as i need original signatures asap Thanks PINK xx

Question regarding registration forms... Section 3. Dietary Requirements. Under 'Other' am I allowed to request a daily alcohol allowance ? lol Paul

Paul - thank you for reminding me, had a question I wanted to ask you Diana... In the evenings I assume we'll be attending various nightclubs, posh restaurants etc... will there be a dress code? lol becx

Oh heck...don't know how much i weigh...can i just put what i wish i was, lol??? Besides all this training will surely knock the pounds off so what i put won't be right anyway!! Yvette

Daisy, I spent £80 on some gortex Berghaus (sp?) boots from John Lewis last week, have walked a few miles in them over the weekend, and they're brilliant :) NB, got proper trekking socks from Millets too, £9.99 a pair !!!

Pink has asked me to post this here. The catch all fundraising site is www*.*bmycharity*.*com/v2/pinkfund (don't forget to remove asterisks). Daisy

I looked at two pairs, the goretex ones and a pair of very lightweight brown leather (ish?) ones. The chap on JL seemed to think the Berghaus ones were better suited for all weather and gave better ankle support, so I went on his advice (I think they look nicer too !). They do the same boots in Millets, in a range of colours lol

while I think about it... if anyone doing the trek uses MSN and doesn't have me on their list already, I'm genesgenie at 'otmail(.)com Paul

Daisy I tried the web address you put up but it keeps showing as page not found, any ideas? Yvette

yvette, I'm glad I am not the only one, susie
