After a full day at the Yosemite shop trying on gear, putting up tents and getting in and out of sleeping bags Sarah was finally able to select most of her gear.  Although this is an enjoyable aspect of Sarah's preparations she returned exhausted and relieved it was over.

Sarah's training regime has now been greatly intensified as her departure date rapidly approaches. Only 70 days to go now!!!  So how is Sarah feeling? Well it's difficult to work that one out at the moment and to even keep her in one place long enough to ask her! All I know is that she is up at 4am everyday and then running about all over the place until way into the evening. Greg and I are busy working away like little bees in the background. On the few occassions when Sarah is here I just make that I get my priorities right and she always has a cup of tea in her hand.

D'Joe is in great shape following a couple of visits to a lovely osteopath he is looking amazing. In fact, he appears to be getting younger every day
