1 down 2 to go....

So we're now on our way to Scafell Pike, having just kicked Ben Nevis's butt! We started at 4pm as scheduled and completed the highest of the 3 peaks in 3hrs 54mins. I don't think any of our legs have felt quite so painful but it's a great feeling to already be a hour ahead of schedule. We met a guy up on the mountain who sponsored us there and then after telling him about Headcase Cancer Trust and Colin's story. Thank you to all your support and to those who have sponsored us. If you still want to give to this great cause then its not too late. Go to www.justgiving.com/tonyanddanironman

The last breakfast....

So it's the morning of the challenge. We've just enjoyed a hearty breakfast at the premier inn and are now on the road to Ben Nevis. If you haven't yet seen the weather forecast, it could be an interesting climb up scafell pike early tomorrow morning with thunderstorms a strong possibility. We're still aiming to start climbing Nevis at 4pm today. We'll keep you posted :)

Made it to Scotland!

After about 5 hours of driving, we've crossed the boarder into Scotland. Traffic hasn't been too bad and it's safe to say that the scenery up here is much better than down south! Glasgow here we come!
