Well another challenge is over, sadly not as successfully as we would have liked, but the deadlines were very strict and any delay was always going to be a problem.
However, a lot has been learnt from this challenge and it will no doubt be used in the future!
What has been really great has been the support team. It was really excellent to have the support of three drivers who were all so supportive. It was lovely to have Hazel back in the team to help with the planning with perhaps the optimistic timings, to make space in the van, to help to get the van to Inverness no mean feat and to train up new support members. Sarah helped with her good nature humour, encouragement and not to mention the help that she gave to Nicky after she lost the use of one arm! Jon is a new member of the support team but what an asset, from making tea in all sorts of weather to giving practical advice and of course getting us home safely again.
Anyone ready for the next one?
Hi everyone. You say that the challenge was not as successful as you would have liked but I think the challenges you were finally presented with have, in a way, made this challenge more successful than you could ever have expected. As a team you overcame all the challenges that were thrown at you and they came thick and fast yet you stuck in there.
ReplyDeleteReally very well done and hope you are catching up on some sleep . Good to hear the optimism about a future challenge. Amazing what you can cram into 3 days isn't it??
