Meeting at The Lamb, Farnham
16th January 2008

About 10 people turn up to hear Andy talk about the walk - nearly everyone agrees to sign up by the end of the night. After four pints of Staropramen 26 miles, 10000ft and 24hours don’t seem that scary…. I’m in and agree to drop a £100 deposit off to Andy before the end of the week.

Andy comes to a Project 2010 Committee meeting full of excitement and a list of nearly 20 people who want to do it. I actually start to catch the excitement and as the committee start to bounce other ideas around about how big the event could get the idea of a big send-off from the School on the day seems great fun. I decide I’ll probably go along to the meeting in The Lamb that Andy’s arranged for the next day with anyone who’s interested.

Email from Andy about 3 Peaks…. Oh dear, it turns out that the peaks involved are Ben Nevis, Scafell and Snowdon and the idea is to do them all in 24hrs.
Bury head in sand and pretend to ignore email.
Jane say’s I’m being daft and should do it. It would be great fun and would give me a reason to get out on my bike more to get fit and would probably help my back.
Bury head in sand and try to ignore Jane too.

Andy Taylor suggests doing the “3 Peaks Walk” at the St Andrews Day Ball last night - sounds like a good idea, especially around 11pm after far too much wine, I mean how hard can it be to walk up and down three hills in Yorkshire….
