Fundraising BBQ

BIG thank you to everyone that turned up for the fundraising BBQ; massive turnout and despite being a little hectic at times a great time was had by all. We will update this post when we've counted up exactly how much you've generously donated, but early counts suggest we raised around £1400 for Arthur Rank and MS Society on the night!

Anyway, here are a selection of images from the evening:

Charity walk!


Last night the boys and i donned our pink tootos (these are the lengths we will go to get sponsership!) to lend a hand for the Charity event "Star Shine Stroll" for the Arthur Rank hospice! There were two loops one 10 mile and the other a 6, with a cracking turn out of over 300 people! Peter and i were papping the event, whilst Chris and Rupert cycled the loops keeping the Lady's in order!

Here's a few pics for your amusement!

Expedition UPDATE

Hi everyone,

Just a quick revision to dates and set up previously relayed. Unfortunately due to lack of corporate sponsorship we have had to pay for everything ourselves. This means we have called on the help of two beautiful girls to work as  support car! This has allowed to save money and use old camping equipment instead of new, EXPENSIVE, fancy light weight gear. With this help we have also lowered our completion date to 20 days!! Scary but true! Below you can see our complete timetable for our adventure!

We start the ride on Sunday 29th May.
