  It isn't here yet - 50 that is! My brother hit 50 last year and was to run the London Marathon to celebrate(! ) He got injured just before so he ran it this year instead. I'm not so foolhardy, I would struggle to walk the London Marathon, I've volunteered to be his sponge-person when he runs the New York marathon in 2005.
Anyway, it got me thinking what I could do when I hit 50, it's 33 months away yet but what I want to do takes a bit of planning so I'm getting cracking on it now. I have always wanted to walk the length of Britain, I think I'll go from John O'Groats in Scotland to Lands End in Cornwall, downhill that way!! Not sure if I will raise money for charity while I'm making the attempt but probably will, most people do and I don't want to seem a meanie.
Mainly I'm doing for myself because, in the words of the mountaineer Chris Bonnington, it's there! Early doors yet but that's Plan A, I'd love company too so if there is anyone out there who also fancies doing such a crazy thing, well join the club. The countdown starts here!
