Subject: RE: BS: Georgiansilver is mad!
Well, after two full days of either travelling to or climbing high peaks,we are well and truly back... I appreciate some of your sentiments and fully admit to being mad. The venture through sponsorship will have raised in the region of three thousand pounds for the St Johns Ambulance and "The Hand of Friendship" charity in Gainsborough. I have to tell you that the youngest of the kids was around 24yrs old and I was the oldest at 56. The trip itself bore with it a large amount of sleep deprivation, as it was continuous and those climbing could only take sleep in the minibus between mountains. Ferry delay meant that we took longer than the anticipated 50 hours but all five mountains were climbed by at least four of the original crew(ie...four climbed all five peaks) where eight actually made the attempt. Many thanks to "SOOZ" and "Travelling Audience" and "Strollin Johnny" for sponsoring us(along with many others at Gainsborough Folk Club) Will collect the money this Friday at the club. Thanks all and "Be Blessed"
