BG Charity Attempt 20/7/2012

[andygib1982]

Hi all eventually finished my round over 24 hours, from the time sheets I was 1 hour 54 min over but hey I got round and that was the goal. at the end of leg 3 my Quads were shot apparently I looked like I had drunk 10 pints lager on the way down Scafell.from that point on I realized I just had to do the coarse to get the sponsorship.Thank you all for your help, a humbling experience and also shows what you can do if you have to.

Still get maxium respect for still getting round pal

Well done Mark supreme effort that. My quads were trashed by trying to keep up with you and honey coming off Skiddaw and Blencathra.

Hey what doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger. Honey the dog is recovering better than me and as Arnie said "I'll be back" Next attempt will be on 25/5/2013 will be making plenty of practice trips up to the lakes just need my shins to recover at the moment.
