Well, apologies, i thought i had updated following my visit to the Lake District, Unfortunately, my helper at RM for fundraising events and the idea of a fundraising day has fallen through, so i will need to do some other promotions off my own back. No problem, my donation pots have turned up, so i will get these out and about to collect some money.
I have booked in a trip to the Altitude Centre in October and we are planning to climb Ben Nevis late October, that will be our toughest challenge yet, with it taking an average of 8 hours, meaning that we need to plan to be on the mountain ourselves for 12 hours, this will mean that we are going to have to leave at first light to get back before the light disappears at the end of the day. Quite daungting, so plenty of training going on to ensure that we have the best chance of getting up and down again!
I will as always, keep you posted over the coming weeks, but no major plans, just training hard.
Speak soon

Scafell pike, here i come!
Hello Again,
Well, it has been a bit of a whirlwind couple of weeks. As per my last update, i have no featured in the Oxford Mail, Bicester Review and on BBC Radio Oxford. In addition to this, i know have a small production making a documentary about my climb! This is all really great news.
I must admit, i am a little disappointed with the rather limited donations to the website following the media coverage, i thought it would generate a reasonable number of donations, in actual fact, it has resulted in only 3 donations so far.
I joined another organised walk at the weekend, 8.5 miiles, a good walk and did make my legs ache a little, so definately doing the trick! I have been in my make shift gym as per usual and now have a rowing machine as well in an attempt to increase my cardio-vascular thresh hold.
This weekend, i am going to be climbing the ever daunting Scafell Pike, so expecting some hard work, achey legs etc.
Still plenty of time to go, but plenty still to organise. I am hoping to book my simulated altitude this week with a view to actually doing the sim in October.
I will be visiting Helen & Douglas House at the beginning of September with camera crew to do a little footage. So a few things on the go, i will keep you updated.
Thanks
Paul
