Stupidity for charity
Discussion
Hi All,
Some of you are already aware, some maybe not but I'm going to try and do the three peaks challenge this weekend. For anyone that doesn't know what that is, I'll be trying to walk up Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in as close to 24 hours as we can manage starting at around 5am on Saturday morning! You being such a generous lot, that also happen like laughing at me I though I'd share this experience.
As for anyone that fancies sponsoring me for this weeks disaster (the weather isn't looking great, strong winds seem to be mentioned a lot along with rain) here's the charity page
I've also taken a few pics while I've been wondering about:
Snowdon via the Watkin path (this was a little steep in places and just silly by the end)
Scafell Pike (just plain hard work)
Snowdon Llanberis Path (meant to be easy and clearly not)
If we actually manage this I'll be amazed, I'm working on the fact that Ben Nevis will be a piece of piss however i don't think i'm that lucky.
Just to make everyone laugh further, I actually have to be at work / working from home on Monday straight after this!
Cheers,
Ben
PS. I already know I look like a
in most of the pics so no need to point that out!

Sponsorship sent.
Now, anyone fancy a hoon round said Mountains? We could do a Top Gear style "race to the top against the finely tuned athlete" sort of thing.
Oh, and to start the sweepstake, I reckon 23hrs and 48mins.
ETA: don't forget the talc.

Cheers Neil - I'm sure there's a road on Ben Nevis, think you're knackered on the others though zhead said:

Aim higher, a lot higher if you want to win 
we'll just be happy if we complete it in the time allowed now! We were originally aiming for 23hrs before we actually walked up Snowdon!AngryS3Owner said:
