    Unhappy BG Attempt off for this year.

    After much soul searching for the last few months it is with great sadness i announce that my BG attempt will have to wait.

    Personal problems, new job causing lack of available training time and my own state of mind (which is not good) has convinced me not to go for it this year.

    Many thanks for all the offers of support, but don't want to drag you all up there in June just to see me not complete due to lack of preparation and mental stength.

    Thanks to all those who donated money to Help for Heroes on my JustGiving page, if you wish to pm me with your address i will send you all a cheque for your donations and stand the £125 myself.

    I'd rather pull out now than let everyone down on the day, i need some time to sort my personal life out and get back on track.

    Best Wishes to anyone else attempting this year and i will make every effort to support anyone i can.

    Good Luck all and keep going

    Merry just keep getting the miles in where you can and keep it low key and have another think nearer the day. It could still happen if you believe hard enough.

    Sorry to hear that Steve. It's a bloody big thing to take on and if it doesn't feel right, then maybe you're right to delay... but that's it isn't it...? ..a delay.

    It'll still be there in a year or two or three, as will all your support. By then I may be a better quality support... maybe... (or completely crocked and only capable of doing the driving).

    Keep your head up and keep in touch.
