500ft Up - 100mph

FEBRUARY 28th 2026

Go BIG, or go home for the first challenge.

I’m scared of heights so this first challenge is designed to scare the living daylights out of me, and to prepare me for the torment to follow later in the year.

Funded by Viegli, so everything goes to my Charity partners, I’ll be wearing my Tena for men big boy pants as we scream over a quarry at 100mph and 500ft up.

All joking aside, i’ll have been in training to make sure my body can take it and my BLOG will share the updates as we go. I’ll also see how we can broadcast the event so you can watch me scream all the way….

How much do you want to see me crying in fear? Sponsor me and make me go through with this madness….

Robbie Nunn

Quietly crying in the corner already! The ex big man is not looking forward to this!

Brian Irving

One of our key friends from Mitel. He won't be missed too badly if things go south.

Gary Kind

Viegli's technical guru. Hopefully flying down a string at 100mph won't destroy his brain cells.

John Sheehan

IT Director for Selecta UK Ltd, this mad man is also joining me for the six minute mile challenge.

Have I?

Why I AM doing this...

It seems to me that every bit of news these days is bad. Maybe we’ve forgotten just how wonderful our country is, just how wonderful the people in it are, and our capacity for being a bit mad.

A few months ago I was morbidly obese. Today I’m just obese. But next year I plan on being fit, toned and healthy. Like all good sales people I need a target. I need to be challenged and I need a real reason to get my fat backside out there and train. The second half of 2025 has been consumed with losing weight. The year of 2026 will be consumed with training, scaring myself half to death, and getting fit again.

Can a 54 year old really go from 23 1/2 stone to running a six minute mile within a year?

Let’s find out!!

I’ll do everything I can to make sure he does. If you could find it in yourself to sponsor me, or join me on my quest, then it’s all for two amazing charities….
