Hello,

This year in my bid to be the tallest man in Western Europe I'm climbing Mont Blanc from the 24th June - 1st July 2012.

In the week I will be making 3 other high altitude ascents to acclimatise as well as ice axe and rope training in prepartion for the 2 day ascent for the tallest mountain in Western Europe - nearly 5 x the size of Snowdon!

If you want to support me, please sponsor me and give to Guide Dogs for the Blind, a very deserving charity that changes peoples lives forever [http://www.guidedogs.org.uk]. Please give kindly - and this idiot will put himself through a week of physical hell for it all.

The trip is 100% funded by me so every penny you give goes straight to the Guidedogs.

If I have ever helped you or you owe me a favour, or simply you would like to see me go through hell for a good cause (again) then please donate.

Thank you all

Mike

PS: I will add photos as I go through my training
