Hi there everyone, this is my first post on this forum.
I have (rather insanely!) agreed to accompany my best friend up Mount Snowdon in Wales in just 2 weeks' time and I am nothing short of petrified. I have mild CFS and it only really flares up when I over-exert myself. I have been going to the gym recently and practising some hill walking in the Peak District at the weekend. Today I am in a lot of pain and struggling to move, mainly my hips and knees. I couldn't even walk down the stairs in my house this morning! My partner had to help me down.
Does anyone have any advice as to how I can build up a bit more stamina and strength before the massive task I have set myself? We are going to walk up the Llanberis Path, which is the easiest route (apparently). Trip Advisor suggests it is a 6 hour round trip and it climbs to over 1000 metres above sea level :-S
Thank you all in advance. Ali xxx
