FUNDRAISING...update


Unbelievable! Massive thanks to everyone who has been sending us money for Stuart over the last few weeks, we have cracked our target of 4000 euros so have now raised the bar to 5000 and seem to be well on the way! Please all keep it coming in, every euro is hugely appreciated.

TRAINING - SUGARLOAF MOUNTAIN!


Today we made it up the 501 metres of the Sugarloaf mountain in Co.Wicklow without too much pain! It was our first bit of proper mountain walking, painful at times but gave us hope that we may make it over the Pyrenees in one piece, fingers crossed!


Below you can see someone didnt cope so well.. as we were on our way down there was a helicopter rescue happening at the top..




After a nice picnic and appreciation of the views of Dublin bay and across Wicklow, we made our way back down finding the steepness of the decent rather confronting!
