We have gone over our compulsory kit list about five times and been trying out all the various vegan freeze-dried foods available, settling on the ones we will pack.

Kevin and myself are excited! But we are also slightly nervous, as we realised yesterday that we have just six months to get super fit for the For Rangers Ultra - a 230km run through the conservancies in Kenya to raise money for the wonderful rangers that protect the rhinos and elephants. It seemed only yesterday we were saying we have still got over a year!
