"I wish Stuart all the best with his British Isles Challenge journey and fundraising efforts. It may not be an expedition to the ends of the earth, but the venture brings its own very real challenges, and will certainly test him to the limits. I would urge anyone to support the trip as much as possible"

It's been a while since I put anything on here, so here we go...

The charity donations for the challenge now stand at around £3,000, with a few hundred extra still to be collected, so whilst it's not quite £10,000 its a start...

The DVDs seem to have disappeared from Cotswold Outdoor and the local train station, so some people must have it!

The Dyson sold for over £200, so thanks again to the James Dyson Foundation for their support.

As well as completing the Fastnet (read all about it on www.wildspirit.biz), Paul and Wild Spirit have also been incredibly generous, and I know those who are coming on the skippered weekend in October are looking forward to it!

I've been running and riding, completing the Fred Whitton challenge in the Lakes for the first time (a bit wet but very much fun) a few weeks ago, and recently had my two best race finishes yet... 6th in the Roseberry Topping Fell Race (1.5 miles, north yorkshire), and 5th in the Pumlumon Challenge (27ish) in mid-Wales. Unfortunately navigational incidents lost me about 1 minute and 10 minutes and one place in each race, but nevermind!

The next big race is the Caesar's Camp 100 in October... I've just found out a certain Mr. Webb is doing this too, see you there Chris!
