I conquer12/27/2023 ![]() My Overlander was removed from the “Chucklebus” and I got myself in to it while Sean parked the “Chucklebus” and we met with the rest of the group. There did not seem to be any immediate threat of rain and so the rain macs were packed in the various back packs we had. The sky was blue with some cloud and it was warm. We arrived at the Storey Arms car park at the base of the “Fan” at around half past ten. Now we just had to wait and see if the Overlander would complete the challenge. Sean brought his Daughter Gracie and also her friend Emily and his two dogs, similarly “Reedy” took his two dogs along for the walk so it was going to be a really nice day out. As well as Sean three of my friends also from the unit came along “Reedy”, “Oozi” and “McLeod” said they would join us for the walk and help if needed. We had chosen the Bank holiday Monday so that people would be able to do it if they wanted and also because the “Fan” would be busy with people so if things went wrong we would be able to appeal to people for assistance. It is something that I have wanted to do since I got my off road mobility vehicle a few months ago but needed help to attempt it and so Sean asked if any of the guys or girls in the unit wanted to go for a st-roll up the Pen-y-fan with us to offer support if needed then they were more than welcome. He is a mountain leader who has started his own outdoor activities company and he told me that if going up mountains was something that I wanted to do, then he would get me there. I have known him since I joined the TA 13 years ago and when I spoke to him about my desire to attempt the three peaks challenge he told me that we should first attempt the Pen-y-fan to find out what my Overlander could do and gauge the likelihood of our success. He was Rifles before the change and before joining the TA he was a regular soldier with the Grenadier Guards. Sean is from 675 (Rifles) Squadron Army Air Corps. At eight o’clock my mobile phone rang, it was my friend Sean and he simply said “Morning Georgie boy, I’m on my way, even though it is pissing down! See you in twenty!” Never the less I got up and carried out the normal daily routine and with that out of the way it was time for breakfast, this would be a must to get some fuel for my body for the day ahead. This was not what I needed for the night before my attempt to get to the top of the Pen-y-fan in the Brecon Beacons in Wales. The pain in my wrist was excruciating, my big toes constantly feeling like they are rubbing on something although I do not even have socks on and my back and right shoulder were so uncomfortable.
