The team are undertaking the Gartmore Brecon Challenge which consists of;

A small matter of a trek up the highest Mountain in South Wales (Pen Y Fan) only 17 k, the SAS use this as a selection and training course (should be a piece of cake).

This is followed by a short 32 k mountain bike ride through the Brecon Beacons mostly off road but nothing to worry about unless you are an Olympic Champion (apologies Chris Hoy I know you won that BBC award but bottled out on this one).

Finally there is the paddle across the Ponsticill Reservoir (4 miles, nothing too stressful) Steven Redgrave requested not to partake as his stamina and Hawaii 5 O skills were not up to the task, Matthew Pinsent also cried wolf, said he  had another more important 1 mile row to deal with (lightweight). 

The challenge should be completed within 12 hours.

The Shooting Star Children's Hospice provides care, support and advice for children and young people with life-limiting conditions and their families. These care services are offered free of charge to families, 365 days a year across the western half of London and north Surrey.
 
The care services are based around the needs of the whole family, so as well as caring for the children and young people, there are activities for siblings and support groups for parents and grandparents. This makes a real difference to families who find themselves in unimaginable circumstances - helping them live life to the full by providing opportunities for fun and laughter, as well as helping them through the tougher times.
 
Families benefit from Shooting Star's care services in the community, in their own homes and at Shooting Star House, the purpose-built facility based in Hampton, Middlesex. These services include Short Breaks, Outreach Care, Day Care, Family Support and Therapies and End of Life Care.
 
It costs £3.5 million every year (£9,500 a day) to maintain these care services and with no long-term statutory funding, the majority of this comes from voluntary donations.
