Eve of Departure

Bags finally packed and I am only 16kg over my flight weight limit. Juliet, my four year old daughter, stamped on my little toe whilst wearing my ski boots as we were packing. After a minor panic I realised it wasn't broken but just bruised. So I will still be off tomorrow on the adventure of a lifetime.

Media Frenzy

The last couple of days have been a media frenzy for the team with Suzy and Ali appearing on Southern Counties radio with Gordon Astley yesterday and then again on South Today this evening.

Final Preparation

In the final stages of preparation now before we set off on Saturday. Getting very exciting, even if there still seems so much to finish off before we go. We will be trying to keep this blog updated on the mountain, but being the complete technophobes that we are.... we'll have to see how it all works in the cold light of the snow!

Wish us luck.
