Just talked to Sam Mayfield, the management of the Hard Rock Challenge.

The weather was atrocious in North Wales (bloody UK weather, makes you think of emigrating to Spain) and they are heading back up the M6 to Scotland where they have unfinished business (five routes to do).

Meanwhile Sam took this photograph of Sir Chris Bonington and Tufa the Dog..

Officially the dog belongs to Rich as I stole her from a farmer for him 6 years ago!

She has the same sad brown eyes as Rich, as I am sure those who know them bothe will confir,.
