The Long Walk to Work

It's hard to train for walking in the Himalayas when you live in London. Once you've done the big hill in Richmond Park twice you're kind of done with it.

I decided that the best way to train for this challenge whilst being able to fit it into my busy life, would probably be to walk everywhere I go. So that's what I've done, walked walked walked walked walked.

But there's a twist. An evil twist.

During the trek, I'll be carrying all my old equipment on my back, and I've heard that yak fur is pretty heavy. So, while walking the streets of London, I've been accompanied by my big travelling rucksack, full of weights...

Here are a few pictures of our heavy adventures together....

Out for brunch...
