00:00We're here at the Old Bush in Wombant and we're with manager. Hello madam, what's your name?

00:05I'm Deborah Good.

00:06And Debbie, you're all chilled now, sort of, at the bar, but you're setting off today on a bit of an epic challenge, aren't you?

00:13Fill us in on what you're going to be doing.

00:15We are. We're leaving here at 3pm today.

00:19We're going to drive up to Wales where we're going to stop overnight, get ourselves up early hours,

00:26and drive to Mount Snowden where we will start walking at 3pm in the morning.

00:323pm in the morning?

00:33At our first challenge.

00:34I mean, you might just be starting to get lightish-ish, maybe.

00:38It says at 7 o'clock.

00:40Yeah.

00:40I googled it sometimes.

00:42Yeah.

00:43Then after climbing Mount Snowden, we get back into our van and kindly donate it to us for the use of the trip.

00:55W.C.

00:56Right.

00:57R.C.

00:58R.C. Williams.

00:59R.C. Williams, civil engineers.

01:01They are.

01:01Yeah, so they've donated one of their welfare vans, isn't it?

01:05So you've got that, and the fuel.

01:06Yes.

01:07Fair play to them.

01:07Some kind of them.

01:08Yeah.

01:10Then we drive onto our next mountain, which is Cadre Idris.

01:17Get ourselves ready.

01:19Up and down that one.

01:21I mean, that doesn't make it sound too easy, does it?

01:23We'll just pop up and down that one.

01:26And then on to our last feet, which will be Penny Fan.

01:34I mean, that's, you know, what have you been doing to get yourself ready for this?

01:38Because I know physically there's no way I could be doing what you're about to do.

01:42Well, just, we decided in February that we were going to do this and do it for the charity

01:50of brain tumour research.

01:53Fantastic chap.

01:54How come them?

01:55Any particular?

01:57The main reason is one of my oldest and best friends has a brain tumour.

02:02Oh, wow.

02:03Okay.

02:03So there's a bit of a stuff, yeah.

02:05Yeah.

02:05And so that was the reason for the charity.

02:08Yeah.

02:09But since then, it's just been amazing how many people in the pub who have either suffered

02:16within themselves or have had relatives who have, you know, sadly passed or have fought

02:25the fight to get a cure.

02:28There's a lot of people affected, isn't there?

02:31There really is.

02:31More than I ever thought.

02:33Yeah.

02:33Yeah, yeah.

02:34Right.

02:34So this is the gang of girls that's going to be terrorising walkers up the mountains.

02:38And who have we got left to write then?

02:40We've got Lucy.

02:41Yep.

02:42Louise.

02:43Sally May.

02:45Myself.

02:47Kelly.

02:48And Emily.

02:49It's going to be a great bonding experience.

02:51Fantastic.

02:52So fantastic work.

02:54I mean, what's, what have you been doing for training now?

02:57I did mention the reeking.

02:58You have been up there a few times, haven't you?

03:00We have been up there a few times, haven't you?

03:00We've been doing Kimberhead.

03:03All the local and some of the girls who have had more time, because there's six of us in

03:08all, have been going further afield.

03:12Every opportunity, every holiday has ended up being a walking holiday.

03:18And are you confident physically you're ready for it then?

03:22We're as ready as we're ever going to be.

03:24And have you dared to look at the forecast?

03:26I mean, what you don't want, is it too hot, do you?

03:27It's definitely not going to be that.

03:30Yeah, but that's probably a good thing though, isn't it, really?

03:32Apparently it's going to be torrential rain and 40 mile an hour winds.

03:36Winds, I don't know.

03:37I don't know about that.

03:38But yeah, a bit of rain might be refreshing when you're kind of halfway up a big hill.

03:42It'll be what it'll be.

03:43Yeah, yeah.

03:44Well, so the six of you are going, is there some of the staff here involved, yeah?

03:48Yeah, five of the staff.

03:49Oh, wow, okay.

03:50All women, yeah?

03:51All ladies.

03:53All ladies, yeah, yeah.

03:54Putting us men to shame, smashing it, mate, smashing it.

03:57Well, how much are you hoping to raise?

04:00Any particular goal?

04:01Right, we set a goal on the giving page at 6,000.

04:06Yeah.

04:06We have smashed that already.

04:08Yeah.

04:08We're up to, on the giving page alone, we have 9,800 and something found so far.

04:15Awesome.

04:16We've also got 2,000 pound on sponsorship for, and then we've got gift aid that will be added

04:23onto that.

04:24Yeah, yeah.

04:24So we're heading towards 15,000.

04:26Well, we wish you all the very best, and get back to the old bushing behind the bar in

04:31one piece.

04:32Cheers, Debbie.

04:34We need to go.
