Well Alan,
I am proud to be fit and fat, and I hope that last condition will get a bit less. As proof of my training effort I could show this esteemed forum a picture of a foot with 3 big blood filled blisters :-). If only I had removed that tiny bit of pebble from my shoe, and not walked 20 miles with it.... 60 years old, still learning :-)....

Greetings from the low Countries

Four weeks.

Ok, now I'm scared. Really. I'm not sure what I fear, but I am scared just a bit. Two weeks, 300 kms, rain, hail, snow, rivers, hills, bogs and peat hags, who knows maybe even goats and snakes.........

Then again, the freedom of it all :-)!

And there will be the views, the sun, great people, beautiful hills, lochs, glens, it will be fabulous!
