This is going to be an epic challenge as it is the equivalent of cycling from London to Bristol every day for 9 days, climbing over 40,000 feet in the process. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">First it’s important to meet the team – well at least the two of us in the picture... Chris is the (just slightly) older one with the distinguished head of grey (white?) hair who should have known better, whilst Sam is the younger man more suited to climbing mountains whose idea this was in the first place. Now as if this wasn’t enough of a challenge, we have decided to forgo much of the training that is usually required for such events... In Sam’s defence this has been </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">due to a combination of a broken arm and various knee problems, but Chris has fewer legitimate excuses! </span></p>

This is an extremely worthy cause so please support us with a donation and make an old (! annoyance mark added by Chris) man and one who should be young enough to make it to the finish with an appropriately large donation... </span></p>
