Team 2020

Good morning You lovely people. Thank you as always for taking an interest in our antics! Hopefully, by now you would have heard of our NEW CHALLENGE for next year. There are two parts to it if you have not heard. John, Tim and I were very keen to get back to Tanzania 🇹🇿 as we enjoyed it so much and were made to feel so welcome. So we will be attempting to climb back to back mountains. First Mount Meru 15,000ft then straight down and a short distance away we will be meeting up with a team of 30 London Cabbies. They are all ages, shapes, sizes, and weights and all have their own reason for taking on this EPIC CHALLENGE. Over the course of the next year, we hope to introduce you to them all and share their progress so you can follow our journey. No doubt there will be ups and downs and we will be taking them on more or less exactly the same training path that worked so well for us. How will they fare? Well, we hope you stick around to find out and we will do our best to bring you all behind the scenes action just like last year. Meet Team 2020.
