Preparation is well under way!

Welcome to the first post on the official Team-GIS 3-Peaks challenge blog! We're just a few days away from jumping in to our VW Transporter and starting a 10 plus hour drive up to Scotland, ready for the start of the challenge on Saturday afternoon. We've trained like Spartans over the past couple of months at Box Hill in Surrey, along the aptly named 'Knacker Cracker' 1/2 marathon course, and we're all up for it. We've had a late scare with Ross, who has what looks suspiciously like gout (he says tendinitis) but he's ready to go through the pain barrier nonetheless! I hope to post regular updates and photos as we progress through the weekend, so please keep an eye out for new stuff. And if you can, please visit the sponsorship website and drop a few quid in the fund: http://www.justgiving.com/teamgis_3peaks
