I spent yesterday walking in the Neverest Challenge on Mt Ainslie. A great event, but very gruelling. Our small team managed to complete the 53 laps (we actually got to 54 as my walking buddy Mike and I didn't want anyone to have to do the last lap alone). If you're looking for a well organised, fun, but gruelling event, Neverest is for you! Raising money to assist worthwhile projects in Nepal, such as re-building schools after the earthquakes.

Had a great challenging walk with Steve and the rest of team. Steve saved the day by lending me a fantastic pair of Helinox poles! Light, well balanced, easy comfortable grips, I'll be buying a pair for all my future hikes and long walks. They made the particularly steep loose climb manageable once my legs started to fatigue.
