Met Phil this morning and what a great guy, he has and is going to achieve so much, he also has a mighty handshake!  Mourne Mountain Rescue Team joined him for a 10 mile walk along the Newcastle Promenade (but got called out to a rescue about half way through, fortunately it was just after they had stopped for coffee and muffins  :) )



thats Phil on the left



no this isn't where we stopped for coffee, charities can't afford that  ;D



a few of the MMRT members who joined the walk today



check out his website www.brit2012challenge.org.uk

Phil if you're reading this, keep up the great work  :)
