Or gets blown out of your hands !

Some of the stuff they run up/down is that steep that "normal" people have climb/crawl up, I'll talk to Andy at work and borrow some of his photo's.
I'm not trying to put you off, just making sure you know what your letting yourselfs in for !

Incidently I think you find that you have to get a minimum of £2k sponsership for the Wooden Spoon Society
