Between the 26 – 28 June 2008, My team, and 49 others will climb four of the highest mountains in Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland, totalling 14,000 feet and drive 1,900 miles non stop within 48 hours !! The rules are simple yet rigid. It’s a four person, fifty team event (three competitors and a driver) and each team is required to raise a minimum of £4,400. In return the teams are supplied with everything they need to complete the event – food and energy apart!

Training has commenced with my team members and some of us are up to 90 flights of stairs per lunch hour.

As an added bonus the plan is to sculpt a Silly Moustache for one week either side of the event. before removing all my facial hair for the first time in 3 years.
