Trafalgar Halls x200

Trafalgar Halls is a cruel mistress, of the men that have attempted to run the stairs 50 times, only three other men have successfully completed it. To add to the constant pain of having to haul your body vertically up 17 stories of incline the competitor must then complete 20 press ups at her summit. I have seen men break under the relentless onslaught of suffering which the stairs bring to the competitor. Running her 50 times burns over 7000 calories and renders people immobile for weeks.

 To add to the physical burden the competitor must overcome high levels of mental stress. Her walls only contain numbers and stairs. The same numbers, the same stairs, no sunlight, only artificial of which some flicker like an abandoned hospital ward. The stair climber must reside in this hellish environment for  as long as it takes him to complete the task.

I completed this challenge three times during this year and so asked for more. So I doubled the numbers, Trafalgar Halls x100. People were shocked, some appalled. x50 was enough to whittle the common man into a shivering wreck. But I forged on and climbed for nearly 10 whole hours. I saw many demons, at one point floor 9 began to morph into a stage of a horrific Lady Gaga Musical, Poker Face would not leave my mind, and I was the center piece of her diabolic horror show.

But Trafalgar Halls shaped me. To this day there is not a greater physical challenge. It is the ultimate expression of exercise. No balls, no rules, just you, some stairs and a 1000 press ups. You cannot hide behind excuses, you are the combined sum of your bodies will to continue and your minds strength in adversity.

And now in March I will attempt Trafalgar Halls x200. This will truly test every fabric in my soul. I can confirm that this is the grand conclusion to the Trafalgar Halls Challenge. Her last throw of the dice. What stands between me and the submission of her stairs is 400 ascents,descents and 4000 press ups. Only one thing is guaranteed with Trafalgar Halls. And that is long hours of relentless pain and suffering.

On a side not I would really appreciate it if people could become a fan of my Facebook page.

2012 Challenges.

During 2012 I will be upping the stakes in my Endurance events, I will be seeking to set new World Records and gain new skills which will eventually help me tackle the Triple Enduroman .

My first event will be Trafalgar Halls x200 this will take place on the 24th of March. This will follow the standard formula for the Trafalgar Halls Challenges which I completed last year. The Challenge consists of running up and down a 65 Meter building 400 times, ( one succesfull climb is one full ascent and descent) and at the bottom of each descent completing 20 military style press ups. I will attempt to do these in under 24 hours.

On May the 24th I will attempt a 240 mile indoor cycle rid, to help me train in attempting a world record attempt of cycling from London to Lockerbie (Scotland) in under 24 hours (a total distance of over 370 Miles) which I aim to complete in late June time.

In the summer of 2013 I will be embarking on my second expedition. I will run a 108 mile ultra Marathon from (Southport) Liverpool to Hull. Then I will row from Hull to the Hague in Holland ( a distance of 250 Miles) followed by a 1500 Mile Cycle ride to Istanbul Turkey in under 30 days.


Many people do not grasp the reasons behind why I choose to do these things.  I am often called "insane" for wanting to put myself through such pain for no obvious reward. I will never be able to explain my reasoning  to those that raise such questions for they are the same people who stand stuck on the sidelines, raised in the stands, observing men and women who say "enough with the questions" and perform to the curious masses.

My actions are not unique. Dig below the service, and you will find men and women who reside at the forefront of Human advancement. Men and women who are not afraid to put everything on the line just to see what they are made of. Be they Racing drivers, Fighters or Ultra Endurance Athletes. I am also working with Water Aid in helping people across the world less fortunate then I am have the basic Human tools to develop into balanced and healthy people.

I am doing my bit, I wont raise nearly as much money as some people say I deserve to simply because I am not one to endlessly talk of my past actions or flaunt my services to the world.

Merry Xmas.
