Billy Whizz challenge 2021

[guitarpete247]

Anyone else following Billy Monger's Red Nose Challenge?
He's going for a 140 mile triathlon.
Walking 18 miles, Kayaking 16 miles, and Cycling 65 miles. It should take 4 days but yesterdays weather meant it was to dangerous for him to kayak across Lake Ullswater.
Since his accident he'd not walked more that 3.7 miles. He did 18.
Should finish at Brands Hatch after the cycling.
If you know who Billy is you'll know why he's doing this.

I missed off his day 4. A further Cycle of 41 miles and finishing with another walk.

Good luck to the lad. He seems a genuine kinda guy, and not one to dodge a challenge.

( I really feel for the celebs/etc who take on these Red Nose challenges - gadding about the UK in February weather is often not to be sneezed at! Remember the team cycling down from JOG through the night?? )

Yup.
Put things in perspective a bit, didn't he?
Money sent, he got me.
Now how did all this dust get in my eye? ...
