- 7 April 2012 14:5016391051 down, 26 to go. Still going strong.
- 7 April 2012 15:54163913I got there just as they were doing lap 42. Thanks Phil or the very informative chat about the history of the place.
Here they go for the 43rd time, looks like they are going down into the depths of the earth!!! What amazed me most was how fresh faced they looked on emerging from the 42nd lap when my legs were aching after just climbing back up the flight of steps here that lead down to the entrance!
If you are able to get down there and give some support I am sure they would appreciate it!

Well done ladies!! So pleased for you and really sorry I didnt get back to cheer you on.
x x - 7 April 2012 19:39163947And they all still look so fresh-faced! What an amazing achievement, well done girls!!!
We need a clapping hands smiley! - 7 April 2012 20:06163956Well done girls you were all amazing !!!!!!
Been nice knowing you :) - 7 April 2012 20:19163958Wow ! what an amazing achievement , everyone should be so proud of them
- 7 April 2012 20:33163961Yes they were amazing especially Kelly as she hasn't felt well for the last couple of days and really struggled at 54 climbs but she was determined to finish her share and we shared giving her a lift to the bottom so that she could rest a bit.
Tess, Kelly and Sam, everyone is so proud of their achievement that they came up with themselves. Thanks also to all the people that came along to provide moral support as they helped it happen too.
How they did the 77 ascents themselves I don't know (as my 15 was enough!!) Been nice knowing you :) - 7 April 2012 21:20163962You must be joking if you think I am going to do any more stairs !!
Been nice knowing you :) - 7 April 2012 23:17163974just got in, thought this deserved to be at the top.
wonderful effort from the grand shaft 3. - 7 April 2012 23:47163978Well, they started at 09:00 and finished at 19:10, each walked around 20,000ft today. It's too early to say exactly how much we raised but we reckon we might have just have passed four figures. Thankyou to the girls, those who supported them and all who attended and kindly made a donation.

As well as the feat itself, well done with the fundraising. Four figures is fantastic! - 8 April 2012 07:22163985Great stuff all round. A very well done to the girls and the organising team...hope you all raised lots of dosh, i have replaced the previous frontpage now which carried the feature of the event approaching..... however have have put a link through to this forum thread from the current frontpage. Well done everyone with all the pictures and info...instant news, thats what we're about. Keep it up guys all round.
email: dover7@msn.com - 8 April 2012 07:47163988Extremely well-done to the girls.
19.10 meant it was a long, long climb for them all, but they did it.
Good to see the people down there and have a chat. Glad I could help in a small way.
