Race to the finish

So the race has begun.

Gordon Brown has announced an election is to be held on May 6. That leaves the three of us with one month left to cover the election trail, and one month and one day to do our training for Three Peaks.

It's going to be a busy month. Medway features three of the most marginal seats in the country, with one among the top four being targeted by Labour (Rochester and Strood). We'll be following the candidates as they try to gather as many votes as possible, and we'll be talking to people to find out what matters to them in the upcoming election.

And we'll be running on treadmills, talking practice walks around Kent and just hoping we'll make it through to the end.

The countdown begins here.
