To mark his big birthday, Alan has roped Nick into trekking nearly 6000 metres up Mount Kilimanjaro with him.

That's the equivalent of over 2,500 flights of stairs.

Neither of us are in our prime, so it's going to be quite a challenge, with plenty of training required between now and July.

We're both really keen supporters of the Smile4Wessex charity, which you may know was established in memory of Richard Bowler, Nick's 15 year old son.

If you would like to sponsor us, it would be really appreciated. All the sponsorship will go to the charity, as we have funded the adventure ourselves.
