The real thing

Its here. The Big Black Mountain Challenge is upon us once again. The training has been done. The rucksack is packed, the boots are clean and by the front door. Nothing to do now except wait until morning when Richard, Sara and I join 1000 other mentalists and take to the hills in the annual fitness test.

Hopefully the weather will be kind to us, unlike last year, see the archive for the video clip of the foul conditions we were in. Its unlikely that we will get a day like this one, our last practice walk. But whatever happens its going to be a fun day, lots of money raised for charity and the promise of a well earned beer when we finish.
