  1. it took just over 8 minutes to the top floor where champagne was waiting. It took the fastest bloke a mere 4 mins to make it. Apparently this is now a sport. Stair climbing. Some went off to take on the empire state building after this! The legs were fine but the lungs were burning as the air was dusty inside and it was freezing. We ran the fire escape steps. We had practiced by running the Spinnaker tower in Portsmouth.
  2. The forest school near me would love that little collection of 'cakes' for their bushcraft days! Could you consider a little 'garden' around it to reduce the target and keep the tree?
  3. I prefer to run up the inside of buildings myself - all 1037 steps of the Gherkin. You can probably see that from your office Janey?
  4. This worked for me - I had a scare from the doc about cholesterol levels despite running about 35 miles a week and not being overweight. So I read a bit and realised that the saturated fat content of food is pretty bad and hence the bad results. So I cut down on sats to 5g per day instead of the recommended 20g. I have lost over a stone and a half (that's equivalent in weight to over 25 tins of chopped tomatoes) in 3 months. I still eat what I want but in moderation and have found alternatives to the foods I loved most. I talked a (rotund) mate into it and he has lost 4lb in a week and he is a couch spud and would not dream of putting a pair of trainers on!! So reduce your 'sat fat' and add a little training on top and you'll be as fit as a butchers dog!

  13. Not disappointed - we all understand that progress is inevitable and it is refreshing to know that they have found a new home for the memorial (IMO) they will ALWAYS be remembered
