The start of the Challenge

Sorry about radio silence - the Isle of Man is beautiful but not mobile phone friendly.

So here everyone is, itching to get going. The excitement is written all over Andy's face:

We arrived in Laxey at 10am, and went to the Methodist Church for a briefing. No idea what we were told but there was a fantastic spread. Alexander and Jacob managed to try all 5 different desserts, before hobbling around holding their bellies.


We then went down to the harbour for photos and the start. Here the Hampton Hikers.


At the risk of ruining the suspense of future posts, we then climbed Snaefell, ticking off the first of the six peaks. An enjoyable sunny beer was then consumed, and the last showers of the rest of the tour were had. Photos of the peak to follow, once Raghu has had something to eat to soothe his mood!
