Welsh Training!

I'm spending a long weekend in Wales working for Samaritans this weekend, so my Nepal training will have to be adapted slightly! 

Today we've had army tent erecting, peg hammering, and lots of carrying heavy things around.  Not quite a 4 hour hill walk, but it's a start.  I'll be at work from 10 pm till 3 am so perhaps I can turn drink making into an aerobic exercise routine!!

The hardest thing working away is diet and sleep.  Because we work all hours, our crazed body clock is routinely appeased by caffeine and sugar - coffee and cake, ideally coffee cake, is always the answer at 2 am, whilst if you're finishing work past 5 am, it's a bacon butty and a glass of wine.

I've been cutting down my carbs, but at festival I'm a carb junky and a caffeine addict.  So that's the challenge for this event.  I do not have to have bread with every meal, I do not have to have cake on every shift. 

I shall walk to the beach at every opportunity and I will not catch the shuttle bus!!

I'll let you know how that goes...
