Everest Part 8 – The final day

Great News! Today is the last day of the Everest Walking competition and my team has made it to the bottom of the mountain.
As a Team, we’re currently ranked in 7th Place. The impressive part (remember that in the screenshot, only the top 3 on the team are averaged) for 6 people is this we’ve walked 2,680,488 steps between us. Yes, that’s over 2.6 million steps. When you do the math, here’s how it worked out –

2144 km – we have walked the distance between Dublin, Ireland and Malaga, Spain and back again!

On a personal level, and out of 700 competitors, I’m number 103. 🙂 It’s been a great competition. My personal totals up to today – 433,623 steps which is about 216 miles… Basically, I’ve walked the distance between Dublin, Ireland and Edinburgh, Scotland in 40 days.

Not half bad, if I do say so myself!

Update: 08/08/2012 – With all this walking – my team got 700 Euros for the charity of our choice! Hooray!

Everest Part 7: I made it! YES!!

While I didn’t make it on Day 20 (It took me to day 25) Everest Challenge I did make it to the top!

I even got an awesome certificate to hang on my desk!.

Total steps: 285,216 (with 15 days to go).

Tanks General Gigs

One of the best things about having friends in a band is that there’s always something going on – either in the city, or out of it. I’ve amassed quite the number of photos of Tanks General gigs over the last 6-8 months both of the band itself and others playing on the same night. Here’s a pretty interesting set.
