Michelle, as a training event, why not try the "Dorset Doddle" on August 18th.

Although it is "only" 32 miles, it is a serious challenge walk, and a good test of fitness, motivation and experience. It is also a beautiful and scenic route. There is considerably more ascent and descent on the Doddle, than on the Yorkshire "Three Peaks". I cannot think of a more demanding "day out" event in Southern England.

Why not do some Challenge walks? Many 30 milers, some 50s,and of course the Hundred. You walk at your own pace, but there will be people faster and slower than you, and usually someone to chat to. Many are accessible by rail, some offer a hall floor to sleep on the night before and after.
