In reply to Al Evans:
Sam said that so far they have travelled 3,100 miles, which was their original estimate for the whole Challenge.
Mark and Rich are doing incredibly well. Obviously getting supremely fit, although Rich did say that the Scottish routes were the hardest so far, as Birkett says you have to add on a grade for the walk-ins and big atmosphere in Scotland.
Quite an inspiration, especially for those who don't get out because of bad weather. They have done so much inspite of the bad summer we are having.
They are climbing very efficiently as a team and they managed the Cracks and Kipling Groove in the time it took Hinkes and Reid to do the Cracks.
I'm sure we all know how exhausting a full weekends cragging can be, hard to imagine 35 days on the trot.
