|
|
Hello there.
I couldn't make it to the play off finals as i was up in the lake district training for the 3 peaks challenge which myself and 5 friends are undertaking at the end of July to raise funds for the Anthony Nolan Trust.
Basically we have to climb Ben Nevis - highest mountain in Scotland, Scafell Pike - highest in England and Snowdon - highest in Wales; all within 24 hours including travel between the mountains.
If you'd like to find out more about this please go to:

And if you feel that you'd like to sponsor me for this event or find out more about this very good cause please go to:
https://www.anthonynolanevents.org.uk/ColinMinns
I think the charity is important enough that I'm doing 3 lots of 2 hours a week at the gym to get ready for the challenge!
Thanks for reading.
Colin. |

|
|
In an effort to get more sponsorship for the Three peaks which we are doing in 2 weeks time I will be shaving my beard off on Sunday.
Will be a bit odd as I haven't shaved for quite a few years.
But it's all for a very good cause.
if you'd like to show your support by sponsoring me, please go to:

Thank you.

Hello all!
Well I did it - all three mountains in 23 hours and 29 mins.
It was VERY hard, but I managed it somehow.
Thank you to all for their support.
Colin. |

Well done Colin.... sounds like a gruesome event. I'm looking forward to the new reduced, lean, mean version of Biker when we see you at Ryde! _________________ Geoff Underwood |
