Holland - Portugal

I know it has been some time since the World Cup. But still, watching
this makes me feel like I want to severely kick some (Portuguese)
people.(and one Russian referee).

This is the picture I took of Michael Rasmussen
while he was riding the Prologue in London on 7 July.

Berlin

Mauer



















In 1945 this was the location of the Reich Chancellery
garden. On 30 April, roughly where the arrow is on
the picture, was the bomb crater in which the bodies
of Adolf and Eva Hitler were burned by Otto
Gunsche, Hitlers aide (just after he had stolen his dead
boss's watch). After Hitler's body was discovered by
the Russian's it was buried several times in different
locations. In 1970 it was dug up from it's final location
in Magdenburg by the "KGB" and fully destroyed.
According to one writer the ashes then ended up in the
Magdenburg sewage system, which seams like a very
appropriate resting place for the remains of the person
responsible for the deaths of an estimated 72 million
people during World War two.

Insider tours does a very interesting Third Reich tour,
that we did and I can strongly recommend for anyone
visiting Berlin and interested in the subject.

On the Top of Scafell Pike during a training run, last Saturday

On 9 and 10 June, together with 7 of my
colleagues, I will take part in an attempt to
complete the "3 peak challenge". With this
event we will be trying to raise money for
the Cancer Research institute.

The event is dedicated to Sandy Goodwin (the
wife of the person leading the team) who
unfortunately passed away in January this year
after a long and hard battle against this evil
disease. A disease which unfortunately has
probably touched many of your lives!

The ensure you we will need to go through hell
to earn your money. This is what the event is
about.

We will climb the 3 highest peaks in the UK
within 24 Hours:

• England - Scafell Pike 978 meters
  
• Scotland - Ben Nevis 1344 meters
  
• Wales - Snowdon 1085 meters
  

These will all be done in succession in a 24
hour period including driving, some challenge?
