Good morning ...............did i hear weeks ago that Moyles and Barlow are climbing a mountain together!!!!
No mention of it yesterday unless i missed it!!!!
If it is true surely we should all bombard him with support to give up smoking and encourage his effort to do this marvelous feat!

I know someone who did the climb with a group last February. She is a triathlete so fitness was never going to be an issue, but she nearly had to give up because of altitude sickness. She was in a group of 24 I think, and she said only half a dozen of them finished in the end, and who did and who didn't wasn't at all to do with fitness. Some of the fittest and most athletic people in the group went out with altitude sickness, many more couldn't cope with the general discomfort and gave up (she said that was by far the most common reason for people not finishing). Of the ones that did, she said they were a complete cross section of the people who started - one was over 60, half of them had never done anything physical or sporty in their lives, only she had any background in fitness.

So I think he can definitely do it.
