It sure ain’t gonna be easy and talking of weight I’ve been training so hard over the last three weeks that I’ve lost 8 pounds, hopefully I’ve trained hard enough, I certainly feel fitter than I have for many years.
Oh and the BBC are interested in doing a piece about this event for TV, I’ll post again when I know more.
BTW you can donate either online or send cheques, see bottom of the page http://www.unicycle.uk.com/wraith.htm

4 1/2 days to go… 
Phil
We’ve done the filming, interviews (not a strong point of mine) and riding. I’m interested to see if he can make a half decent interview from it, should be some good riding bits though. It’ll be on;
BBC1 East Midlands Today 6:30pm Thursday 5th October 2006 (Sky 981)
Online at Nottingham | Latest News & Updates | BBC News after it’s aired.
Don’t forget it’s not too late to donate.

Looks like it’ll be on Friday 6th now as don’t think he finished the editing in time and as we’re travelling up to Scotland tomorrow I’ll not get to see it 'till Sunday.
Good luck.
Tue will be on the road already; it’s going to be a long weekend, but an awesome one!
Phil
Have fun, I’m with you spiritually.
And I was hoping to pick some up tomorrow! Damn! 
Just to get you in the mood. The forecast is for gales, rain and -4 to -7deg C windchill on the summit of Ben Nevis. Can’t wait! 
I suppose the snow that’s forecast Friday night and Saturday morning (for the summit of Ben Nevis) would have melted by the time we get there.
See you tomorrow.
Steve
p.s. are you sure you have all the jelly babies?
Well we are on the way now… but a little bit late. Gary’s van broke down so we set off 4 hours late! Just passing Glasgow now.
Photos to come.
Roger
Hope the weather isn’t too miserable, have a good ride.
K, K, T & D
Here is the pre ride tuning… Steve was a little bit excited.
Best of luck guys, 'ave it!!!
Well that is one down two to go! 5 hours in the most terrible conditions. It was raining and blowing a gail all the time! the forcast was -8 degree wind chill on the top, so if we look unhappy that is why!
We are now in the hands of our drivers Paul and Miark to get us to the lakes in good time. We are almost exactly on schedule at the moment, but do remember that there was no spare time in this shedule to allow for slack.
The next mountain is totally in the dark which should be fun.
More reports and photos when we get out of the lakes tomorrow.
Roger (with a bunch of nutters!)
Wow!
sorry for the quality of the photos on the top but that was about what we could see on the top as well!
To give you some idea of the wind… going down hill, into the headwind… and we just did not move!
Roger
Paul is getting frustrated by the amount of traffic lights going through Glasgow… Mad acceleration for half a mile until we get stopped at the next lights… along with Steve warning using his tomtom where the speed camara are!
Roger
Well done fellas!
It looked bleedin’ cold and wet up there.
Hope the next two aren’t so bad.
Two down one to go.
Scarfell Pike in the dark was hard and it is now very tight to do but still just possible. It was all going to plan until we got into clould and had white out. Even with the HIDs we were struggling to see the cairns which were only 5m apart. We spent half an hour struggling on a boulder field.
Roger (and the bunch of madmen)
