Mumford & Daughter

This is why Justin couldn't join the Jolly Jape ... he was pinned down on the sofa by lovely new baby Martha .

You're on the 2012 list Justin!

24 hours from Kick Off

Nearly there now Japers, and the team is confirmed as follows:

Me, Kev, Georgina + Laura + Harry, Megan + Will, George + mates (tbc), Peter (+ wife?), Luke, Trig, and Lisa

14 Jolly Japers - ta da!

I'm sure we're all fully prepared and in the zone?

Fundraising stands at a magnificent £2700 - mainly down to Kev's super efforts, well done mate x

See you all at the Pen y Gwryd tomorrow night (or Saturday morning)

Team Motto

Good Evening Jolly Japers!

We're getting close to the challenge now and I've set the gold standard in preparedness as usual by forging ahead this weekend with my sis on our traditional (Founded 2010) May Bank Holiday Lidos Celebration...

...the plan was 3 Miles, 3 Lidos, 1 Day and we absolutely nailed it like the top athletes we are with 2 Miles, 2 Lidos, 1 River, 1 and half Days ... and a bit of healthy snacking en route.

What a BRILLIANT trip - have a chortle at the pics on sister blog http://waterbloggedsisters.blogspot.com

Anyhow, here's a great motto and appropriate glamour girl poster to hold in our heads and hearts as we look forward to our Jape in June.

Ill prepared, moi?

OK, so I don't have any appropriate walking boots ... but I do have three cozzies and I'll be trialling all of them over the next 24 hours....on my way to meet Sister Nic to head off for heavenly swim in The River Cam tonight, then 3 miles in 3 Lidos tomorrow .... may need to divert on the way to stock up on expedition supplies - Lincolnshire Plum loaf avec le fromage of course!!

Packhorses Needed

Aarggghh...all this gear we seem to need for The Jolly Jape we're going to need a camel train to carry it all!

Check out the Big Fundraiser!

Still waiting !!!

Hello everyone, I hope your are all well and prepared for a dip in cold welsh water only to be warmed up by warm Welsh sunshine!! I've been in training by turning the shower to cold every morning (and then straight back to hot). Baby Mumford continues to be fasionably late so I really hope I will still be joining you. I will let you know.
