Training standards
December 2007, and training begins in earnest. It was clear that only a combination of physical and mental exercises would provide a sufficient foundation to prepare adequately for the rigours of the sub-continental trip.
And so it was that four selected members attended Advanced Base Camp in Porthmadog for track-building hard labour, courtesy of the Welsh Highland Railway.
Their progress, as recorded in the blog, was judged sufficiently worthy for future events to be organised on a regular basis, as the fitness levels gradually increased. Regrettably this was more of the physical than the mental variety.
