I am after 3 gullible people to take part in the Drambuie Pursuit on the 7-9th May 2010
To take part WE NEED YOUR VOTE…
- Please visit this site:

The 5 teams with the most votes will be entered into the physical competition:
Covering 9 stages of energy sapping madness across Scotland with the opportunity to win £2500 for a charity of our choice.
- Fell Running
- Zapcats
- Mountain Bike Hike
- Running Rock Climbing Abseiling

Let Nathan know if you are up for the challenge as we have a few months to ‘win’ the public vote to get our team into the competition. The application has been made but will need completing (charities, bio’s, pictures, videos, etc).

If we get voted in and are lucky enough to win I would like to sponsor Reach, as it is a charity that my daughter has personally benefited from.
Looks like our very own Barry has been making headlines following a daring rescue in Scarborough.
A KAYAKER risked his life to save a 19-year-old stranded in a dinghy in choppy waters.
Barry Hughes, of Sherwood, Nottingham, rescued the young man who had capsized with a friend in the sea off Scarborough Harbour.
The teenager was holding a lifebelt but unable to climb on to the pier, though his friend had swum to safety.
Witnesses said the boy would have drowned if Mr Hughes had not set out in his kayak to save him.
