Well I thought I would let you know what I did last weekend, instead of having a weekend off from work seven of us travelled up to Snowdonia and took part in the 2006 MS Challenge to raise money for MS Therapy Centres across the UK.
The challenge is a 10K course not far from Capel Curig and involves hills, forest, streams, lots of mud and several river crossings and through all this you have to take an MS sufferer in a wheelchair.
Teams consist of a minimum of 8 and max of 12 although I did see teams with more than 12 and our team was the smallest with just 7 of us, they were not going to let us run at first but we told them we were going to run anyway as we had not come all this way to not do so.
We only had a couple of disposable cameras with our team and we are presently waiting for them to be put on disc hopefully I will have copies by next weeend of a very muddy and very wet yours truly.
In the mean time the link below is the photo\'s from a team that ran out during the morning (we didn\'t run till the afternoon but it will give you a good idea of the event and the challenges involved that 7 of us had to tackle.
MS Challenge 2006
When I get the pictures I will put a few in this thread and also some in the PYP thread to keep RD happy
An excellent time with lots of :beer: and despite the rain Saturday night I will deffinately do it again next year.
(I\'ve stopped aching now)
