The monster in the background is Scaffel Pike - England's tallest at 3206 feet. Should be starting the ascent tea time on Saturday having already claimed the scalp of Nevis before going on to Snowdon to complete the hat trick by midday on the Sunday. Taming these 3 lions within a 24 hour period promises to be a challenge but with the incentive of all of your generously donated pennies spurring me on I'm confident that the mountains can be reduced to metaphorical molehills!

Donating through this site is secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: SOS Children's Villages will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support,

Dave
