Update: 13th October

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to say thank you to everyone who has taken the time out to sponsor me for this adventure. Martin, Stuart and I are leaving for Nepal Next Thursday evening and to say that we are excited is a massive understatment. Please follow us on our Blog www.ecb-2011.blogspot.com  feel free to add comments on our posts. Once again thx very much for giving to what is a great cause

It seems as though my mid life crisis wants to run & run. Unlike my Great North Run of 2009 which was more like walk & walk after the well documented Boulder incident !!                                            

Anyway, moving on to my next challenge. Me and a couple of Gooners (Martin and Stuart) are Trekking to Everest Base Camp this October / November. Hopefully having survived our flight into Lukla Airport at 2800m from Kathmandu. We will embark on 9 days trekking to reach the Everest Base Camp 5360m. A further 4 days trekking will see us back down into Lukla again.

I have decided to raise money for a local Charity on this occasion. The Chigwell Riding Trust For Special Needs. This organisation has made a life changing difference to a personal friend of mine and I thought that this would be a perfect opportunity to give something back to them.

The Chigwell Riding Trust is wholly dependent on the good will of the community. It is totally self funded and the Trust could not function without voluntary help or donations.

So please give generously to this great organisation that has made a difference to so many lives.

I get to see Everest (even if it is from the Base Camp) and the trust gets some much needed cash !!

I feel that I should point out that I have funded this trip myself and All donations will go straight to the Chigwell Riding Trust.

 Update:  April 28th. Training is going well. weight down fitness lvls up. I think those are the right directions!! Many thx to those who have sponsored me so far. A great start !!  plenty of time for others to join the party. The Snowdon training weekend looms.
