After sponsoring me you will receive an email confirming the UserName and PIN to track my live progress on the walk. More importantly, you will be helping a young person from the UK, facing personal hardship, to go the World Scout Jamboree in 2015.

To track my progress.. With the UserName and PIN that you will be emailed if you sponsor me, you will be able to track my progress by clicking the “Buddy Beacon” icon below.

Press “add Buddy Beacon” at the top right of the screen that will appear and enter the UserID/PIN details. You can set the screen to auto-refresh every minute or two by pressing the small clock-like icon at the bottom left of the tracking screen.

Viewranger have kindly provided my electronic mapping.

I’m navigating using this app on my iPad mini, and after 18 months of trialling I can confirm that it’s 100% excellent!   Battery life is 20 hrs-plus and I’ve dispensed with paper maps completely, effecting a massive weight saving.   For back up, I have duplicated all the route details and maps on my iPhone.

Fox’s Outdoor of Amersham have been generous enough to provide equipment for the hike.

Fox’s is our local outdoor sports shop and they have been kind enough to provide me with a complimentary Snugpak Chrysalis 4 sleeping bag and Lowe Alpine TFX Kibo 65 rucksack. It’s extremely generous of them and I’ll look forward to using this vital equipment on my walk.   I feel I’m pretty much prepared for everything, now!

Nathan Ruttley, at iSoton, has designed and built this website for me.
