Various stupid things
Simon has done:
GLASS WALKING
Walking barefoot over a twenty foot bed of razor sharp broken
glass. The glass bed was made from over one thousand
broken wine and beer bottles.
How is this possible? Now that is a secret!
ICE DIVING
Simon's
first ever scuba dive - under the ice of a frozen lake.
"Was it cold?" people often ask.
"No," says Simon. "It was ******* cold!"
ROYAL MARINE COMMANDO CHALLENGE
The
seven mile Royal Marine Commando assault course with mud, crawl pipes,
mud, lakes, mud, water, mud, hills, mud, rough terrain, mud and the
infamous water tunnel. And er...mud!
NOTTINGHAM ROBIN HOOD MARATHON
Just
about to cross the finish line - after 26.2 miles (ouch!)
THE THREE PEAKS CHALLENGE
The
challenge is to climb the highest mountain in Scotland
(Ben Nevis) , the highest mountain in England (Scafell Pike)
and the highest moutain in Wales (Mount Snowdon) and travel the 500
miles between them in under 24
hours...
We started at 9am at the foot of Ben Nevis in the blazing sunshine and
then 3 hours later we were in a snow storm at the summit!
And then we had to climb all the way back down again and drive from
Scotland to England to tackle Scafell Pike.
Here we are halfway up!
And the we travelled through the night and started our ascent of Mount
Snowdon in the early hours of the morning - in the pouring rain!
Here we are at about 5am at the summit of Mount Snowdon.
Then it was the long walk back down Mount Snowdon
during which we explored "alternative descent options"
(some negative people call this getting lost!) and then a
well deserved breakfast before the long drive home.
