errrr give us money!!!

What the....... Ady is back?????

Well finally, Ady has come back, to blogging....

Hopefully this will make James R feel better as he has been prodding me (not physically yet thank goodness) to put something on for a while.

Well, fund raising has been slow to say the least but will hopefully pick up momentum as we approach the big day. The Grand National Sweepstake raised £60 when we planned on £40 as the winner, Waheed Nazir, very generously put it ‘back in the pot’. Cheers mate.

Pig Racing is still very much on the cards but a location has not been confirmed as yet.

Tennis is new this year with the possiblility of Badminton depending on the weather.

And in conclusion you must be thinking by now, hang on a minute. Isn’t this the guy who writes bad poetry and vowed he would never walk again! (distances that is…)

Well, yes it is but… well…. Hate is a very strong word, but I hate the fact that I failed to make it to the end. It bugs me big time. So here I am and after all, I couldn’t leave James on his own.

I will update some more later on a couple of projects the Q-Team is working on. An Album and the possibility of a film… more to come… on that and other news later.

Cheers, Ady

Pen Y Ghent - 1st April 2010

Trailtrekker is now just over two months away and the realisation is starting to dawn on me that I haven't done that much training yet! Ady and James S were out on a Good Friday walk which I could not attend, but I had Thursday off work, so jumped at the chance to walk up Pen Y Ghent - one of the peaks on the route.
















Looking back from just below the first of the 'steps' on Pen Y Ghent. It is always slightly more daunting that I remember!
















Plenty of evidence of freeze-thaw!
















Plenty of hail showers around but most of them missed us.

















...some of them didn't though!

Finally made it to the top, just as it started snowing! :o)
