Time to get back into it!
2 May 2020After 6-7 weeks being tied down at home. I have still beem walking daily but been limited with how far I can go with covid 19 restrictions. Today as a family we are going to head up colonial knob so I can start preparing myself again to do my stair climb for the swan nest! We will be likely taking a different route to ensure we can keep our distance with anyone else who may be out walking today as well. I'm hoping by the end of may early June I will be able to do the whole climb as originally planned! Thanks again for your donations so far

Covid 19
23 March 2020Hi everyone with the news of a lock down I have had to push my date out a few months. This will give me a little time to prepare again before I do it. Im all go once this lock down is lifted. Stay safe!

12 days to go!
17 March 202012 days to go! Doing the training has definitely helped me get fitter and I know when the day comes it will be a little easier. I wanted to go up twice yesterday but it got a little late and I was on my own. Its hard finding the time to go up every day with work and kids in tow. But will head up sunday morning and aim for 2 maybe 3 times! Thanks again for all your donations so far it is for a great cause x Lisa

More prep!
3 March 2020More prep last night! I went up on my own which I found quite hard. Not having someone to talk to to pass the time and keeping your mind off how many stairs there are! Haha. I feel like its getting slighty easier each time. My next visit up there I will try doing two times to get me really ready for the actual day!

More prep!
24 February 2020Went up Colonial knob again in Sunday morning, had been raining so was a little muddy. Made it a lot harder getting back down as it was slippery. My partner Jake came with me and enjoyed the view together at the top. Just under 4 weeks to go! And tonight I went up to the lookout in whitby was about 5km from my house there and back mostly up hill so another great work out to get me ready for the climb
