Two years ago I did a 26-mile trek across the scenic hills of Northumberland so it's about time I took up another challenge.

I decided to embark on Ben Nevis Midnight challenge for Alzheimer Society in memory of my grandad whom I sadly lost a couple of years ago.

It was not easy to watch a decline of once a very active person, both mentally and physically.

However, I will always remember my grandad as a keen tourist and a great sport:) He would always let my brother and me climb up trees and rocky mountains and swim in rivers while my grandma would be anxiously watching us. He would take us for walks and trips and try to teach us, more or less unsucessfully, how to grow vegetables on his allotment.

More importantly, he taught me that it is ok to take risks even I sometimes 'crash and burn'!

Thank you, the memories will stay with me forever.

Nebylo jednoduche sledovat chatrani kdysi aktivni cloveka, jak telem tak dusi. 

Ja si ale dedu budu pamatovat jako turistu a srandistu:) Nechal nas s brachou lezt po stromech a po skalach a plavat v rece, i kdyz z toho babicku mohl trefit slak. Chodil s nami na vylety, vcetne skolnich, ucil nas sbirat hriby a na zahradce se z nas, vicemene neuspecne, snazil udelat mlade zemedelce.

Hlavne mu ale vzdycky budu vdecna za to, ze me naucil nebat se riskovat, i za cenu toho, ze si clovek nekdy natluce!

Dekuji, vzpominky zustanou.
