A Team Crisis!

After a couple of weeks of mentioning what we're doing and trying to persuade people to get involved our team numbers need amending from three of us to two of us! My powers of persuasion are obviously lacking. Si has had to pull out of the event due to other pre-arranged commitments but has very kindly offered his services in terms of helping raise money and possibly assisting with the driving.

Phil is currently in the process of trying to persuade one of his mates to take part and also assessing the risk if only two of us attempt the challenges. Now from the start I've been thinking of the possibility of having to complete the challenges by myself, it's not a nice thought as I still lack basic navigation skills (and more obviously, common sense!), however, I have decided that if need be, the 3 peaks challenges will be carried out solo next year.

As a friend has pointed out, this motivation seems to have affected my senses. I firmly believe now that I'll be able to complete the challenges, after all, anything's possible when you put your mind to it. I'm at a point now where defeat isn't even an option, even if I do have to do this by myself. Right, now I've finished persuading myself that I can do this, a couple of pictures to brighten the page up.

I'm looking forward to this:

but I'm not looking forward possibly climbing through this in the dark:

If there's anyone up there, let's hope they look after me!
