One of this forum's moderating team, inspector_blakey, along with work colleagues, will be attempting to climb the highest mountains in Wales, England and Scotland in 48 hours this coming June, to raise money for The Railway Children charity.

Any and all donations will be greatly received for this admirable endeavour.

Further information on the challenge and how you can donate can be found at the following link:

Wow!  An admirable challenge!  I feel a real meany not  being able to donate.  Have just sent off some money to my sons challenge.  He and his colleagues are cycling from London to Paris in aid of Breast Cancer UK (United Kingdom).  I won't provide the link as it wouldn't be fair to compete with our worthy inspector_blakey.  Our country would be a much poorer place without these heroes.
