One week until lift off!!

A week until "lift off" and the excitement is mounting. So much to do in the intervening week, loose ends at work to deal with, not to mention packing and being prepared to be away from home for 7 weeks.
The sunshine we have enjoyed for the last few days has been glorious, I just hope it's not come too soon, it would make a great companion for the trip.
Great to hear from you Sophie on our blog comments, we wish you and your dog a great trip when you set off on your jogle (John O'Groats to Lands End) on June 1st. Malcolm and I are due to finish Lejog at the end of May so our paths wont cross, we aim to update our blog as we progress up the country so it would be nice to stay in touch.
We've had interest from the local paper, the Leicester Mercury, so on Tuesday we met up with a lovely guy called Jim Tomlinson who is a great photograper, he took a picture for an article they are going to publish later on this week.
Will close here, thanks again for comments and support.
Love aly x

You mad pair of buggers. What people will do to get a bit of time off work!! Well I wish both of you all the very best and hope everything goes to plan. It should be quite a gentle stroll for you both really, so no excuses :). My thoughts will be with you all the way and I sincerely hope that it is an extremely fun and enjoyable adventure for you. I hope to meet up and run with you on route.
Good luck both.
xx (Both for Ally, not you Malc.)
