Treacle May 2009 5:20pm, 27 May 2009 3,086 posts	Quote Pin Treacle waves at Boo We went to Box Hill on Sunday and staggered up and down the steepest hill I have EVER seen. And I've run fell races. Some bits of it were lovely and flat. It was the stairs wot got me. yep - there are stairs. Ouch. But there was ice-cream afterwards. So that was OK. Not sure if there will be ice-cream at 7.30 in the evening when I've finished doing this for real. There had better be. Or beer.

Thing is, I've done stairs climbing up Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia - and I did it at a snails pace - so I am just going to adopt the same principle... More importantly I am going to have LOADS of fun!!! I'm going to take as long as I damn well please to finish this!! I can't wait to see you all

Start, enjoy, Finish. Time is irrelevant.
