I decided to forget about the 4 and half big ones for the moment. Worst comes to the worst I can always sell my flat. Instead I've been on a virtual tour of Big-E to see what I'm up against (video).
See, there are all sorts of ways to train. I'm choosing the smart, armchair hillwalking one. One of the hardest parts is the psychological challenge. I reckon it's best to work on that first - healthy mind, healthy body. Don't expect much peace up there though. There are more tents than T-in-the-Park.
Liz, top tip - even if you feel hot never ever take your anorak off and tie it round your waist. I did this in the Pyrenees. It fell off. Herve had to scramble down the snow/ice covered mountain to get it as the weather was about to change!! Oh yes and always trust the guide even, and especially, if you're terrified and/or tired. Nia
