My story

We did it!

Dave, Lee, Nigel and Paul completed the challenge in 11 hours and 23 minutes and as you can see from the photo were very happy at the top of Coniston Old Man!

The 24Km of cycling included an unplanned detour that several other teams followed but only our team managed to break a chain and repair it themselves!

Nigel and Paul failed to sink a canoe but should have got a prize for trying!

In short the walk was steep and hurt!

The 16 teams that took part have managed to raise a fantastic total of £55,000 and still counting so if you've not donated please feel free to follow the links.

Many thanks for your support.
