Hi everyone!
So ... Challenge Charly is actually going really well - the feedback I'm getting has been great, and the whole thing is really gathering momentum.
On Saturday two new challengers will be tackling the Three Towers Hike with me - a 42 mile Scout hike across the Berkshire Downs ... and yes, we do have to do it in just one day!
I've actually done the Hike four times before, the first time when I was 16, but it definitely doesn't get any easier, and now I have a record to keep up because I've never dropped out. Could be tough as I'm still in quite a bit of pain after getting tripped up during the Marathon a few weeks ago.
In previous years I've taken as long as 18 hours to finish - you have to stay as a team of three, so if anyone in your team drops out you could wait for hours for another team to join up with.
I'd like to say our target is 15 hrs, though it's a pretty mean feat, and seeing as neither Mark nor Tom have ever really hiked before, we'll just have to see how we do!
Then, less than 24 hrs after I finish I jump on a plane to Borneo. The main challenge whilst I'm out there will be Mt Kinabalu, but I have three weeks of activities planned, so I'll do my best to film all the fun!
And then .... literally 10 hrs after I land back at Heathrow I'm setting off to Johannesburg to make a documentary about AIDS orphans, which I know is gonna be at least emotionally tough.
So ... lots to come - keep tuned to the You Tube channel - Challenge Charly is a YouTube Channel where I'm documenting all my various random adventures around the world.
The whole point is to encourage people to try things they wouldn't normally think of doing, or think they are capable of doing.
Get involved by suggesting new challenges for Charly, or by volunteering to be a Challenger, and taking part in one of the challenges with Charly.
Or you can just sit back and laugh at what an idiot I'm making of myself !!

and remember, I'm always keen to hear your challenge ideas, and accept volunteer challenges to join me on the challenges!!
Who knows - if word can spread enough we may even end up with some famous Charly's Challengers!!!!
Take care, and remember to try everything you see at home!
