Just found out my 15 year old middle son has , with his team, won the Badaguish Outdoor Challenge. Am incredibly proud. For four 15/16 year old boys to have won this challenge is an impressive performance. Last year in their first go they came 12th out of 88 teams.
Hopefully they will have also collected a few pounds for Charity as well.
No idea where he gets the ability to run as I was always stopping for a fly fag during school cross-country.
Hopefully more photos and news later on.

Updated 12.30 pm Friday 15th January 2010 – Groundhog Day
THE MOUNTAIN AND ALL FACILITIES, ACCESS ROADS AND CARPARKS WILL BE CLOSED TODAY (FRIDAY) TO ALLOW DIGGING OUT AFTER MAJOR DRIFTING DURING THE STORM. We have come in this morning and it feels like groundhog day – all our work yesterday has been filled in again. We’re at it again with 2 x 23 tone caterpillar diggers, our own ploughs and the piste machines who are also moving snow down banks so the diggers have some where to put the dug out snow.
It is unlikely that we will be able to open for snowsports this weekend. Staff continue to work on the road, and we will assess conditions throughout the day - watch the web site for updates.
