3 Peaks Completed!

So, I'm back from a weekend completing the 3 Peaks challenge, I'm sat back at my desk at work trying not to stand up very often. Due to the problem standing, and once up, walking. Thighs are a touch stiff today!

We completed the 3 peaks in around 27hrs, so just over the 24hr mark, but we like to use the excuse of bad weather (80mph winds up snow topped Ben Nevis - this might be an exaggeration, but it felt like it was about that). As you can see we also completed Scafell Pike (Lake District) during the night in thick cloud, and finished with Snowdon, where we were blessed with beautiful weather.

I'm pretty certain this will be the last time I do this, but even now, people have mentioned doing it next year, and the temptation will always be there..... I may take the train up Snowdon next time though.

Here, you can really see the lack of visibility up Ben Nevis.
We also endured what we believe we 80mph winds.
During the last mile, we had to frequently
stop and crouch right down until the winds passed.

Golf in the Water

I've not posted on here for a long while, other things have taken over a bit! Here's a few pictures taken at Mattishall Golf Course. My brother taking some shots of me and me taking some shots of my brother in law. I'm sure we didn't have to play out of the water, but where's the fun in that - we made the shots too. I've also noticed that the right hand column on my blog has gone to the bottom of the page, no idea why, and not sure how to fix it, need to set some time aside to fix that.....
