 Hi everyone and welcome to the Snowden vlog. So this weekend we are climbing Snowden for the Caval Trust, an amazing charity, go check them out, links below if you don't know who they are. And today is Friday so we're actually staying over at the Pardon Hotel, Padan Hotel. Pardon? Something like that. But we're staying at the hotel for the weekend with all of the other nurses that are doing this and we're doing the night climb tomorrow. So it should be amazing and then there's like a big medal ceremony and stuff afterwards which I didn't know because we didn't do that last year. As you know Storm Callum hit us and we got stranded and separated from our group. This year we're with the group hopefully, we're going to smash it and we're going to get to the summit which we didn't manage last year. So this year I've got high hopes, fingers crossed. What are you most looking forward to? Just getting to the top, getting back down actually. Oh and we found out there's a pizza place at the top, didn't we? At the summit. There's a train going up as well which is quite favorable. We're not going to get the train but we're not going to get the train. Are we? No. I'll be videoing it so there'll be proof that we've walked up. So yeah any fears? What's your biggest fear of conquering Snowden? I don't have any fears. And that's wrap guys, so I'll see you all later. So we have registered and we're ready. Ready to go. He's excited. I am sponsoring a few people today. John's about to start his presentation so we'll just wait for that. We've got our tea, Korma's up, we'll be climbing and sponsoring Cavaltrust and Winx Socks this weekend. Sponsoring myself. So yeah good luck everyone. Yeah good luck all look after each other. We have started our walk. No one behind us because we're at the back. We've got the wall stripes on. These are UV so they're going to light us up on the way down. Here we go. Here we go. Five minutes in. I need a wee. I've already had a wee before I left but I need a wee again. It burns. It's actually hard work, you can record it. It's hard work. I can't breathe. My legs burn. She's in the RAF and she's struggling. It's got to be bad. It's just started raining. Oh god, just to add to the torment of the aching legs, barely being able to breathe. It's started to rain. So I'm being beaten by wind and rain right now. But everyone's doing really well so far. Well done to everybody for making up that first bit because that was hell. It seems a little bit of an easier walk on this little section that we're on but no doubt we're going to have some tough times ahead of us again. So yeah we'll see how we get on. Halfway house cafe. Halfway through. It's going really well. It's challenging. Taking our breath away literally but we're off. Just another quick walk. We've been seeing the morning coming down saying well done. No they've been coming down saying good luck. We've been going up saying well done you've made it. So it's been really nice to see the other team. Incidentally they did it easier route. They didn't do it easier route. Did they? Yeah they didn't come up this way. I didn't hear that but yeah. But now we've got. This looks like the steepest hill that we've done yet. Let me show you. Hang on. So this looks like the steepest hill yet and we've come up some pretty steep hills. But we'll see how we get on at the top. You're employment melting. I said it'll be easy. It's not going to be a challenge. It's a high though guys. Everyone's doing amazing. Everyone's really slashing this mountain. We haven't got far to go but almost at the summit. We've been told there is icicle in the head that hit your face. That's what that girl said. You work for Cabell don't you? I do. Yes. John works for Cabell. What do you do in Cabell John? I'm lucky enough to be the chief executive. There you go. John's the chief executive. Oh it burns guys. It's burning more than it burned before and the time before that. We're in the class. I think it's level now. Thighs burn, calves burn. You can breathe. It's horrendous. I think we've just got over the worst bit now. There was one bit that was extremely like almost vertical but it seemed to be on a bit of a steadier uphill. I don't know. But we've got this view. How's the view? Are we looking for clouds? So you probably can't hear because it might be a bit windy. I'm hoping you can hear me. But we've just been walking up and we were stopped by a lovely man and a couple of ladies and they were asking what we were all doing this for and they wanted to know what the charity was. Told them all about the Cabell Trust and Edith Cabell and he gave us a fliver. Cabell Trust. So thank you to the kind amazing man that stopped and gave us a fliver. Thank you. We're almost at the sun down. The sun's gone up. The temperature's almost simply dropped. But we're nearly there. We've actually been there for five minutes. We made it to the top. We've got to get back down for these stairs guys. So we have started the descent. Apparently the bit that we've just walked down, the one, the same one that we walked up, which was horrendous and the worst bit, it's like a 40 to 5 degree angle. So no wonder we're all aching right now. So going down is a little bit easier. It's a little bit warmer as well. Very warmer. Very warmer. That's really good English. You know what I said. You know what? I'm confused. I'm delirious from the heights and the cold. I'm in a lack of oxygen. Anyway, look at the view. So it's getting dark. People have started to put their head torches on up out there. So I think we're going to put our head torches on now because we've still got a couple of hours I think. Maybe a couple of hours? No. Hour and a half Matt. Hour and a half. Well I'll be down there in an hour and a half. She wants to run it. She can't wait. But it's just nice. It's nice doing it in the night. Look at this. What a view. It's night time. Hello. Kind of. Everybody's got their torches on. So it's bright. So yeah, we did make it down in dark. Amazing. I didn't think we would. So I'm happy with that. I currently look like Noddy with my little pink bits. Make way for Noddy. Noddy. So yeah, this is our last stretch now. We've passed the halfway mark. We shall be back in no time. Really excited to get back. Have some food, get warmed up and finally have a nice bath. And hopefully I won't eat too much tomorrow. We shall see. And yeah, we'll see you all when we get back. We made it. We're back. Oh that's it. Bye everybody.
