With the help of my friend Simon the website is coming along nicely. Furthermore, the route is planned, the charities are
‘on-board’, I am getting good responses from sponsors and everything is on schedule. I even managed to enjoy a winter walking
weekend in Snowdonia in December, organised by Neil of The Outcasts (www.the-outcasts.hampshire.org.uk).
The hostel was in Besthesda, which was perfectly placed for a stroll up the
snow-bound summits of Carnedd Dafydd, Carnedd Llewelyn and Yr Elen. All good
practice for the JOGLE, although I don’t expect to meet much snow then - but
you can never be sure?
