3rd Time lucky our HT550
Words pictures and hopefully a bit of inspiration, 3rd time lucky Tom 12 years old finishes the Highland Trail 550.
I've split it into 4 sections so you don't have to read it all in a oner. :)

Brilliant. I've been looking forward to reading this and seeing your pics.
I hope you didn't make Tom go to bed early for getting the pad type wrong

Just so you know I'm reading Jules Verne and planning an attempt on Tom's record.
Seriously well done to the little fellow maybe I'll make it round on my third attempt!

well done to you both, excellent achievement tom, you will realise one day how lucky you are to have a great motivated dad. 

it's not that I can and others can't, it's that I will and others won't.
