Everyone involved is a great human being, remember, for every individual there are an army of volunteers making it happen, Steve would be the first to name them, and Doogal is probably top of the list every time. (and rightly)

I do hope they are giving fans the chance to join in the final leg somehow.

It wont be a lack of effort or support if they should fail, but I think they'll do it (if they can all get back into the UK!!!!!)

Reading that challenge I think he's barking!

Seriously, Steve is a legend and a top bloke and I'll be supporting him and the others every inch of the way

Would it be a bad thing to ask how Steve is getting on?
