Wadi Bih · 10 February 2012

We exist solely to support The Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces, looking after veterans, serving soldiers and families within our Airborne community. We're there for our nation’s paratroopers through the good and the bad, from the moment they join our family to the sounding of the last post.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to have a look at my page.</p> <p>I will be Tabbing (like Yomping only much faster, with more weight and over a longer distance)&nbsp;the 2012 Wadi Bih marathon on the 10th February. I will be entering as a solo and self sufficient runner. I will be carrying all the&nbsp;water, food and safety kit&nbsp;I require on my back, with a starting weight of about 40lbs.</p> <p>The route starts&nbsp;on the&nbsp;Dibba Oman coast at sea level and then takes me about 37kms through Wadi Bih upto a height of 3000ft. Then it will be a quick brew&nbsp;turn around and head back down.</p> <p>In 2010 I believe I&nbsp;was the first person to have&nbsp;completed this race as a solo self sufficient runner and completed it in 12hrs 42 mins.</p> <p>Please help me raise some cash for the Reg charity.</p>
