UPDATE

So you haven’t heard from the two intrepid explorers for a while, obviously that means we’ve entered a hermitage in an attempt to find the inner peace required to scale mountains right?

Wrong, we’ve both been busy boys; trying every scam, con, hustle, hoodwink, gambit, flimflam and stratagem to bamboozle people out of their hear earned cash in the name of charity.
So here’s what we’ve been up to recently and as an endnote a bit of research we think you might find interesting.

Robin’s been busier than ever in the kitchen creating culinary masterpieces in an effort to raise money for the Stroke Association. From the Da Vinci-esque Scones which flew off the tray to the more modern, Cubism inspired, cookies which he’s still trying to shift.

Every waking minute is devoted to raising the money we need for our charities so Robin has been giving up his weekends to do DIY for residents in his local area. Two front driveways have already been repaired and lots of windows repainted. So if anyone knows of any “odd-jobs” which need doing don’t hesitate to contact us.

Sean, meanwhile, has focussed more on his most marketable attribute, his feet. Whilst that isn’t to say the rest of him isn’t marketable (he’s run Luke Chadwick close in recent Mancunian beauty contests) Sean’s been busy organising a series of charity football matches in his local area for his chosen charity. And despite some tackling that would make Paul Scholes blush everyone’s having a great time.

Now time for some science,

A recent study conducted on Bonobo Monkeys at London Zoo showed a direct link between philanthropy and sexual prowess. Apparently, a pheromone released in the act of giving makes you more attractive to the opposite sex!

This has been backed up by more recent anecdotal evidence from Sean Doyle himself. Since signing up for the climb he has obviously been pumping out pheromones at an alarming rate leading to the end of his mate-drought and subsequent emergence into a proverbial monsoon season (of women NOT Bonobo monkeys, no matter what rumours you’ve heard).

Leading some to observe; “You’ve got to give some to get some” so for all those who would like to give some here’s the link, you all know the drill by now...
