Its been a while so here's a quick resume of recent events. The line up has changed to myself, James and our recently UK citizinized (?) comrade, formerly plain old 'American' Steve. Steve is another superfit, Mark style climber whose disappearing butt will now replace Marks in my sweat blinded eyes.
Mark is now going the distance solo on July 1st. It'll be a test but he'll be fine.
We'll be joined for the first week by Alberto Otero, a Spanish born, former Barcelona FC triallist and deputy head teacher, who can be relied upon to upset popular British mores by bringing pasties into pub restaurants or weeing in car parks. He brings that type of continental elan to the mix, or at least he did on the Ludlow trip 2 years ago.
