    Sprouting a mountain record, by a nose

    I'm not sure whether I can quite believe this story that I read on the BBC website earlier today:

    BBC News - Warwickshire man nose-pushes Brussels sprout up Snowdon

    A guy pushed a Brussels sprout up a mountain (Snowdon) using his nose.

    WTF! I've never heard of anything quite as ridiculous as that in my life.

    What's the furthest you've every pushed a sprout with your nose. Or indeed with your fork. Or knife?

    BBC News - Snowdon challenge for wheelchair-bound Kent boy

    Busy day up Snowdon yesterday.

    Myself and DS1 nearly climbed up - but forecast was bad.

      So you were there yesterday?

      What "silly" way of getting up the mountain can you think of, and will try?
      Perhaps go up with a cabbage balanced on your head?

        Walking is pretty silly. When there's a perfectly good train that is.
        Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

              I reckon running up there after a 2.5 mile swim and 112 mile cycle(including 2 miles of climb), then running down and a further 16 miles of running is quite stupid.

              Im doing it as part of the brutal on Sep 20th. At least I am "only" doing a single.

                Well done that man.


                But I'd be really impressed if you could do a 2.5 mile swim up Snowdon
