STATSBOY COMPLETES WHITEPEAKS CHALLENGE!!
Thats right friends, on the 18th of March your Scottish Cultural Attache conquered not 24 but 25 Austria Peaks with a pair of planks strapped to his feet and a great deal of morale support from his sponsors! The extra peak just had to be done simply because it was there! - Actually, in all honesty it was down to the fantastic local guide Tom and the excellent logistics of the SCOPE lassies and the teams from Tall Stories and ARTIS meaning that time was available to do it. No simple task that. I'm not sure of the final figures but i'm told the vertical decent was not two Everests but closer to Three! We were divided into three teams and although it wasn't a competition there was a good deal of friendly rivalry going on (Well-done Blue Team!!) The weather was, essentially, appalling with a good deal of rain, sleet and snow and visibility down to a mere 15ft or so at times - pretty tough going and the temperature was going up and down constantly which didn't help either. Thats said, the snow was actually quite good and at the top was at times fabulous. Just wish i'd had time to play around in it! Although this challenge is finished for me, the challenges of daily life go on for those who live and suffer with cerebral palsy and therefore the oppurtunity for us to help out where we can will always be there. The doors are not closed yet and there is still a bit of time to sift through the buttons and pocket fluff and give what you can and be a part of the SKISTATSBOY White Peaks Challege 2008 experience.
