...and finally....
The Lost Boyz - Roger Staplehurst, Mike Staplehurst, Jules Webb and myself, Matthew Izzard are four middle aged guys who had an idea to try something out of the ordinary on a dark December night in a local pub.
Our ambition has been acomplished. But how? What started of as a grand idea really did grow into something grand. Four climbers, three support team, god knows how many helpers. We all did the Three Peaks Challenge in time - over 50% of people trying it don't. We even managed to raise over £2,000 for charity.
The reason we made it was down to those who love us and unconditional support and assistance given.
We'd like to thank Kirsty, Claire, Mandy and Mikes wife for supporting us all the way. Tony and his wife for driving us in the Scotland leg, Jules for his amazing support and getting us there, Richard Hobbs for the location of hot meals. Roger's bosses wife for loaning her Tom Tom (almost returned in one piece!) and last, but not least all of you who donated and encouraged us.
I'm going to be a bit selfish now. I'd like to make a personal thank you before signing off. To my best mate, Rog, for allowing me to buy him that extra pint that made him say 'Yes! Let's do it!'
Rog, mate, WE DID IT!!
