I have every sympathy Andy...but I am sure you'll be fine... you have lots of experience and big days in your legs.

I have had a nightmare at the 11th hour: best part of 2 weeks off work with Campylobacter (diarrhoea and vomitting); lost a stone (going back on now though) and feel completely wasted.

I am still planning to go a week on Friday (25th) but going to the Lakes tomorrow to look at Scafell via Foxes and the Climber's Traverse. If that goes OK, game on, but if not then postpone for a few weeks. To re-arrange will be easier said than done.

And it had all been going so well........

Avoided real injuries; 10,000' a week; great support; know what to eat and reached the confidence point where I was ready to go.

.....but is not yet lost
