End of the Summer

Well

Could the weather and cricket have been much worse in July and August and could I care any less. On both counts NO.

Most will know about the weather but my cricket has been as ever with the Drovers cricket club and we have had a bit of a poor season and personally I have won one of the five games i have played this summer. But the best thing about it has been seeing other members of the everest family in action on the field and hearing about the hilarious kiwi team 'Your Mum's face'. Everyone is showing amazing enthusiam by organising and participating in any and all forms of training, fitness and sport for the cause. I have been inspired by this idea since conception but the team spirit and sheer application being shown by all those involved is truly AWESOME.

My latest efforts are that I have nailed down the Tenzing expedition to complete the 3PEAKS challenge and hopefully in under 24 hours. No mean feat. The expedtion consists of climbing Ben Nevis (1344m), Scafell Pike (978m) and mount Snowdon (1085m) with the 11 hours driving and October conditions thrown in to the mix. We are undertaking this on 24/25th Oct and there may well be snow in Scotland!!!!

Watch this space for tales of our efforts including probable sledging Tenzingers, frost bitten pink bits and some serious nappy rash between the thighs and cheeks. But what a treat being around the three highest peaks of the british Isles in one day with 11 other like minded old and new friends.

Until then.

Big Love. G
