Pub Quiz Night

Hi!

Our pub quiz night went down well with all. It included some fantastic entertainment, great raffle prizes and a grand total of £900 raised!

We're so pleased to say that this has helped to take us over the 80% that we needed to secure our place on the trek...so a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us!!!

We'd also like to say a massive thank you to the team at Lycetts Insurance, Newcastle, for their corporate sponsorship. We'll be wearing their logo on our kit with pride throughout the trek.

Lots of love,
Lyns and Gill

Great North Run!

Well, we're pleased to say that we both finished the Great North Run this year in a respectable 2hrs 6mins! (Even more impressive as Lyndsey had to run despite suffering from tendonitis in her knee, which was v.painful!). A fantastic day and once again the weather didn't disappoint.

Well done to everyone who took part and raised money for charity.

Pre-Trek Training Weekend in Snowdonia

Hi!

We've finally got round to uploading some pics from our pre-trek training weekend with Expedition Wise in September which took place at Pen-y-pass youth hostel in Snowdonia.

We arrived on the Friday and met up with the rest of the group who were doing similar challenges, Saturday saw us all walking to the top of Mount Snowdon and learning about medical and hygeine issues, the right kit to take, pacing, water intake, etc. then Sunday was spent around the beautiful Ogwen Valley.

Really fun and informative weekend, we were with a great group of people and were lucky enough to have warm weather and sunshine! We left feeling so much more prepared for the trek ahead!
