UPDATE: 26th January 2007 WE DID IT!!!! We have completed the challenge ahead of schedule. Please keep your donations coming in.

We plan to run, cycle and row 6230km! This is the distance from Lashkar Gah in Afghanistan where we are currently based to our home base of Hameln in Germany.

There are 30 soldiers (including one lady) split into 3 teams of 10 and each team will complete the entire distance of 6230 km between them. That works out at an average of 623 km each. We intend to complete this task by the end of March 07 as we are here until April 07. We started on the 1st October which means we will have about 6 months to complete the task... easy you might think! An average of 3.5 km a day would be simple enough but when we are out on operations for days on end and putting in long working days as a matter of routine we expect that daily average to triple or more!! The whole thing is made worse by the restrictions on equipment and space that we have. The camp is small and basic and the tempratures are often over 50 degrees centigrade!
