  1. This was not my idea
  2. This is not a good idea
  3. This is was Chris' bad idea


=======================================================

DAWN TO DUSK TRIPLE CHALLENGE

Take on an incredible team challenge journeying through majestic mountains and sprawling lakes in the heart of the beautiful Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Push your limits to complete a course that sees you bike, hike and paddle between dawn and dusk, racing the sun on this triathlon-style adventure charity fundraising challenge.
=======================================================


Somehow, after saying "Absolutely and categorically not!" I find myself actually doing this. I've been in 100% denial but it looks like it's happening and there is nothing I can do about it. THANKS A BUNCH CHRIS!

Two teams, one 4 man and one 2 man, of friends (and CHRIS) will be doing a triathalon consisting of cycling, canoeing and hiking. In laymans terms that is:

  • 3km of drowning (canoeing) in Derwenwater
  • 17km of incessant moaning (hiking) up to the summit of Skiddaw.
  • 65km of trying not to throw up a lung (cycling) round Skiddaw which includes 1,015m of elevation gain.

This is undeniably stupid but it's for a good cause and I will be doing it with friends, and CHRIS.

So, if you can spare a little please donate to help ACTION MEDICAL as it's a great cause. They are the leading UK-wide charity dedicated to funding vital research to help sick and disabled babies, children and young people. Action Medical Research has been funding medical breakthroughs for over 70 years and have helped to beat polio, fight meningitis, prevent stillbirths and develop ultrasound scanning in pregnancy, helping to save thousands of children’s lives and change many more. Today they continue to tackle the challenges disease and disability present by funding high quality research to save and change children’s lives.
