- Sport
- Badminton; OK goalkeeper in 5-a-side football; pretty good at getting up
hills - completed the Munros in 1993 and the Donalds in 1997, and now working
on the Corbetts (17 to go). A group of us took on the Vanco 3 Peaks Challenge
in 2002. Some information is here. In 2003 we
took on the Welsh 3000s challenge; see the training
schedule. In 2004 things didn't quite work out, but some (not me!) did
the C2C. In 2005 we had a series
of walks. I completed the 2005
Paris Marathon, and repeated this (for the last time) in 2006.
To see some photos taken in 2006,
enter my race number 35013. I completed the Inverness Half Marathon in March 2007 to raise funds
in memory of the wife of a close friend.
We did it again in March 2008, but this time just for 'fun', and will have another go in March 2009.
