Just back from Dalkeith Country Estate where I was down supporting my wife and her pals taking part in TOUGH MUDDER SCOTLAND 2013.Please google TOUGH MUDDER to see more about it but basically its a 12 mile special forces designed assault course which is not competititive but is designed for teamwork and determination to get you through it for personal acheivement and also to raise money for charity.Directly linked with HELP FOR HEROES it is raising substantial funds and I have to take my hat of to my wife for doing this as before she turned 40 she wanted to acheive something so she took up this challenge and to raise money for H4H.Her and her team completed the course and have the cuts bruises and aches to prove it -not bad for women in there late 30,s/early 40,s who havent done any running since they were at school but took on the challenge and have trained hard for 8 months to acheive their goal,they havent totalled up their donations but my wife personally has raised at least £650 to go directly to H4H and with at least 11000 people doing this challenge a bumper sum should be boosting H4H shortly!Seeing the great team spirits throughout the day anyone looking for a challenge next year should consider it -hell i,m even thinking about it myself and on the selfish side she will be handy now for dragging beasts of the hill for me
