*Groans at pun* Hi and thanks for that. we did a fundraiser for the DSA a couple of years ago (James's world title win I mentioned in the OP. Its a good idea but They like it to be purely for them for the reason you gave, so people know what they are giving towards.

Also, we need to hammer home the message that what James is doing is surely worth a fiver of anyones money, so long as it isnt a bad cause its irrelevant what it is.

Anyone interested Check out and follow @James2Odsal we'll be giving regular updates.

I underestimated how difficult it is going to be . Am used to being on my feet all day , but that is no help at all . you would be shocked at where you get sores when you strap a rucksack to your back with three gallons of water in it and go for a VERY long walk . Can barely walk downhill atm . Uphill is easy . And for some reason my ass cheeks are sore . ( no i didn't get bummed as i walked through the woods before you ask lol ). I did get shot at by some very nice person with an air-rifle . Think they were trying to knock my orange hat off .

Have you tried those walking poles? They helped me do the three peaks, especially the downhill bits when I had cramp.

Pages 8 and 9 in the latest Forty-20 magazine . A rather large article giving a brief history of James and Andy .

Think this can be cut adrift now .

Had a call today from a lady involved with the housing project that James Olsen lives in . I explained the situation , and she said she is going to have a word with his mum and get things rolling regarding refunds .
