Sara and I are off in search of another summit to bag.  Mount Elbrus in the Caucasus is Europe's highest peak but it's not the altitude, the unpredictable weather or the long, strenuous climb we're anxious about.  It's the bears.  And the wolves.  Oh, and the rebels.

I'll be tweeting at @Long_Flat_White and you can follow our adventure at www.strolltothepole.co.uk.  But before we dust off our crampons and ice picks you can help remind us why we do this by sponsoring us here.  CHASE is a brilliant cause, and a necessary one, and we're all very proud to support the work they do.

Thanks
