God bless RyanAir

Edit:

Just heard Ellice, Jack, Raju, Gareth & Roy are stuck in Ireland after the ferry got cancelled. They’ll have to wait until 9pm to catch the next one. Not a lot of sleep ove there tonight

Frances & I made it back by Lunchtime thanks to RyanAir

Thank you – “Most money raised 2011″

We are very proud to have won The Scaffell Pike Trophy for most money raised in the 2011 Six Peaks Challenge. Raising as much money for WaterAid was our motivation for entering this challenge. On behalf of the whole Legs Go team (walkers: Ellice, Frances, Jack, Raju and Vish; drivers: Gareth and Roy) we’d like to thank everyone who sponsored us.

Anyone who would like to add to our sponsor us can do so here: http://www.justgiving.com/legs-go-sixpeaks

Thank you all once again – the Legs Go team.

Big Thanks to our drivers!!!

Thanks Roy & Gareth… Even though we weren’t awake much when we were with you, we really appreciate your efforts

Monday – peak 6 (of 6) – Corrann Tuathail

With the sun rising in Newcastle, the team departed at about 4:30am towards county Kerry for peak number 6. After a long tough hike up an alternative (longer) route as the Devil’s Ladder was closed, the team finished the 6th peak (all team members completed all peaks). Now back off to Killarney, for the WaterAid meal and prize event.

6 Peaks – DONE!

Challenge complete!! The whole team made it up all 6 mountains

No pics from me as my battery was dead, but Ellice will be posting some tmw.

We almost made it up without breaking out the waterproofs but the rain caught us up in last hour of Slieve Donard.

Now looking forward to a nice bath/shower followed by a drink or two.

Thanks for all your support!!
