Today my husband was taking part in a charity event with 3 others from his battalion. The challenge saw them collectively climb Arthur's Seat 41 times, the equivalent of Mount Noshaq, Afghanistan's highest peak, at 7492 metres, to raise funds for whitehackle.com - a charity which has been set up to provide financial support to the families of injured or bereaved soldiers.

Here is a wee clip of them on the day and some more info about it.

It was a really tough challenge and our house has had a lovely whiff of deep heat since!
