A Week in Progress

 So even though we have not taken part in an event in the last 2 weeks there has been a lot of work going into really getting the challenge motoring.

Firstly the blog site, although useful, we thought isn’t really going to cut it and so with some help from my brother and El Mattador we will soon be launching a dedicated website. On this we plan to not just have blogs but an interactive calendar, galleries, forums, and lots more. We’re also trying to make a system where people can sign up to join in with us which we are excited about.

As well as the site Tommy and I have been busy sourcing events and spending a fair bit of cash signing up to some. It is clear this whole challenge is going to be rather expensive but hey, it all goes towards charities so not all bad.

Some events of note that we have, or are going to enter, are the Bath Half marathon (which is in like 5 weeks!!!!), The Crazy Golf British Masters, Hellrider, South Downs Trail Ride, The Great South Run, The Great North Run, 3 Peaks Challenge, London to Brighton cycle, and a monster event called The Drambuie Challenge. The magnitude of what we are doing is slowly sinking in and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous but that why they call it a ‘Challenge’. If it was going to be easy we would have called it the ‘30B430 Walk In The Park’! 

The stage for the Crazy Golf British Masters. Amazing!

 Anywho. One thing we have been focusing more on as we go through is ‘team’ events. We feel that these will make it easier for more people to get involved, which will make every event individual and special. We are recruiting heavily for lots of events, whether it be a ‘more the merrier’ approach, or if there are specific numbers needed. Go to our facebook page to register for now, or email me a sully@30B430Challenge.co.uk if you are interested in any events.

Training for the upcoming Helly Hansen Challenge on Sunday 30^th January is meandering along, if anyone wants to come and laugh at us then come along, it’s in Pirbright in Surrey, more details here http://www.trailplus.com/adventure-challenge-series.php.

There are so many other things going on with 30B430 but I don’t want to write an epic post, all I shall say is that there is so much more to come and so much to look forward to. The most exciting part for me is the involvement of other people, some have already shown a keen interest and I know we will get many more. If you want to get involved but don’t think you’re up to it, get in touch and I’m sure we can find an event for all standards.
