Pic no. 30 expect a few shots like this one above from us...may just be trying to stand up instead of messing about!


I will add one more picture in here..speaks for itself really. In case it doesn't though I will say it looks immense!!! How ever tired you are, being in those surroundings makes it worth it.

2012 Transalpine intro!!

Right then!! Here we go with my first foray into blogging.

I will get straight into linking you into what it is we are actually trying to achieve and complete so take a click onto the link below and see for yourself. I have taken the first few words from the site to entice you in....

GORE-TEX® TRANSALPINE-RUN 2012
Eight stages, countless summits and peaks and an amazing itinerary off the beaten paths on rocky tracks constitute one of the last true sporting challenge.

A couple of things strike me in the words above. Firstly 'countless' - I'm sure that could be inspiring to some people but blimey!! all that sounds like is that we're going to be running around the alps thinking this isn't so bad but oh wait! we have more countless peaks to crawl up....believe you me, crawling could well happen once I show you the piste maps.

Secondly the word 'last'.......... is that in there because you won't actually come out alive the other end?!?! haha

Straight away I can tell you that the four of us are in for a fantastic time from the start of training on the Feb 4th to the completion (we hope) of the 2012 transalpine event come this September 8th.
