The Three Peaks revisited

I know it's a couple of years since we did it, but I stumbled across this YouTube slideshow of our Three Peaks challenge the other day.

For those who don't know, we did complete it in 24 hours. Good memories.

And finally on the Three Peaks...

I'm sure you're all sick of me banging on about the Three Peaks, but just in case anybody's interested there's a video diary of our experiences here:

Three Peaks in 24 hours - we did it!

A slideshow of our Three Peaks in 24 hours challenge. Enjoy.




Feeling a little tired today but no too bad in the cricumstances - and only a few aches and pains. Still can't believe we made it.

In training...

Last weekend, we took advantage of the fine weather to do a training climb of Snowdon in preparation for our Three Peaks challenge. It was pretty warm - hopefully we'll get similar weather this weekend.

Anyway, it all went pretty well, apart from Rick twisting his ankle on the way up. Bring on Friday!

By the way, you can of course still sponsor me by going to http://www.justgiving.com/NWN3peaks/

Thanks

Please help

In a break from my usual ramblings about Harry and family life, I thought I'd issue an appeal through this blog for sponsorship. For reasons which now escape me, I've signed up, along with three colleagues from the Evening Leader, to take part in the Three Peaks challenge next month.

We're raising money for Hope House Children's Hospice - a very worthy cause - so feel free to support us by giving me money. Full details of our challenge can be found here:

I've no idea what I'm getting myself into - I've never walked any of the mountains before so it will be a whole new and, no doubt, very challenging 24 hours. Anyway, if you feel inspired to help you can e-mail me with any donations at martin.wright@nwn.co.uk.

Right, begging over. Normal service will soon be resumed.
