I sat on my chair for the last time with everyone rushing around bring me food and drinks all I wanted was some new feet, Mickey, Paul and Andrew had done a fantastic job with all the plasters but they were sore, I just blanked out that feeling with the feeling of joy and pleasure at what I had achieved so far and I new I would make it to Moot Hall.

I was on top of the world, I was King and it was party time with just 3 peaks to do and loads of time to do it. The run in was great, loads of support, loads of new faces to chat to the climbs soon passed. Its was extra nice to have Dave Aspen along the man that set the seed of my Bg quest all them years ago, before long we were passing the Church to the sounds of the bells ring with joy at our success. We only had the road to do which again passed so quickly over the bridge we went and onto the busy streets of Keswick, luck was on my side again in the form of two police supporters they stop all the traffic for me on the roundabout and beyond that was just fantastic. I hit the doors of Moot Hall again, the last time I did that was 21 hours and 50 minutes ago. Words just don’t express that feeling, two years in the making with some mega days out over the last 9 months.

I think we did about or over a marathon every weekend since Christmas with around 175,000 feet of ascents but it paid off big time. I think if my feet still had skin on them I could have keep on going, we will never know.

Massive thanks to every one that help out over the past few months I could not have done it with that help and support.
