Aprehension

I'm just going through the process of making the final preparations for my trip, trying to make sure that i remember everything. I've got an early start tomorrow and have to catch the 6.30am train from Manchester Piccadilly up north. I'm feeling a mixture of excitement and aprehension at the moment. Excitement at the prospect of embarking on something that i've been thinking about for along time and the knowledge that i'm finally going to do it. Aprehension because there are so many things i can't control that will make my journey easier or harder (trains running on time, bike reliability, weather, road surfaces, traffic etc). Still, I wanted to go out of my comfort zone so I'm looking forward to the challenge that awaits me. The alarm clock is set and i'm raring to go.
