Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Accepting that I am somewhat overweight (technically obese), prone to the odd dose of vertigo and basically have little enthusiasm when it comes to undertaking anything overly physical,  I have decided that as I hit the big 50 this October, to set myself a number of “senior” challenges throughout the year.

SensationALL is a local group who provide a multi-sensory play centre for children and young adults with multiple support needs. Although based locally they also attract children and parents from outwith the local area and rely heavily on charitable donations to function.

I am also collecting donations for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust who are also 50 this year.  

My challenges are as follows:

Nippy Dipper Boxing Day plunge into the North Sea.

Climb Ben Nevis during June / July

Ride the North cycle from Inverness to Aberdeen in August

Almost like an alternative triathlon!!

I also have a number of other ideas, which I may add during the year.

Should the sum of £2000 (£1999 does not do it) be reached during the 12 month period then I will have my somewhat hairy back waxed  – definitely no training for that !!!!!!!!!!!

To help make my challenges worthwhile and raise funds for 2 very worthy causes, please visit

Or you can donate directly to either

Cystic Fybrosis:  www.justgiving.com/Alun-Harries

With the aid of my techno savvy kids, you can see how I get on through-out the year via Facebook etc - details to follow 

Cheers Alun
