This has been a really busy week, trying to sort out the remaining bits of kit, and packing and repacking everything into my rucksack in an attempt to get it all to fit. I am not finished yet, as I will be unpacking some things on Tuesday to spray with a mosquito repellent, for extra protection. Also, I keep coming up with further items I need to get, like some spices to liven up the food a bit, and emergency rations (400-500g worth of energy rich food).
Yesterday I received the final itinerary, as well as the risk assessment (which isn’t all that encouraging). We will be leaving on Thursday evening, and I am now feeling extremely nervous, but I also can’t wait.
I won’t have the means to keep up my blog whilst I am away, but using the itinerary we have been given, and if British Exploring manage to get updates about the whole group and our progress out of Peru, my parents will try to update the blog on a regular basis.
