Tomorrow my 2010 Dakar team mates Tamsin Jones and Craig Bounds are attempting to beat the current world record for riding motorcycles up the side of Mount Everest. What a totally  nuts and wonderful thing to do.

Also tomorrow the GB entrants for Dakar 2012 are running a parade through London to Canary Wharf.

Best of luck to all of them…..

….. I need to get out from behind this desk.
