Whilst you lot were lying on a beach, under a warm sun, pina colada at your side the Centurions have been putting themselves through a tortuous fitness regime at their remote secret training base high in the Peruvian Andes. So remote Gordon would frequently cry himself to sleep through lack of a mobile phone signal. So remote Willie McCrae was forced to eat fruit for the first time in his life as he had polished off the teams supply of chocolate within a day of arriving. So remote Willie McCabe was frequently doubled in agony through the lack of a designer clothes outlet. So remote that Davy had no means of using his electric razor, the little hair he has grew long and unmanageable and he fell into a deep comb-over depression.

But we overcame it all, we're back and ready to face our 3rd 120k Loch Ness Monster Challenge. All  we need now is your help. Please please dig deep and donate for our adopted charity, Accord Hospice. Accord provides free specialist palliative medical and nursing care to Renfrewshire and parts of East Renfrewshire. Since 1982 it has cared for thousands of individuals and supported their families and friends through very difficult times. We think it's a such a deserving cause.
