Humphrey and Mustafa ("Mustafa drink of water") had a great run.

We collected £82 in the bucket for WaterAid. This included almost 500, 1 and 2p coins, it all adds up (to the weight of the bucket too!). The support from the crowd was great from start to finish. There was a bit of a hail storm, what a bonus having fur to protect me! We got a tremendous roar as we entered the Majeski stadium and put on our final dash for the photo finish. I think 2h13 for a Camel is good going....

We were quite chuffed with the exposure - interviewed by Reading 107, Evening Post and were spotted on Meridian TV.

Well done to all the team on a successful race. Bring on London 2004.

I have included a few pics from the BBC berkshire website.

Mustafa trying to tie Tims shoe laces - tricky with cold hands. You can see the start line in the background. We are at the rear of the field and rapidly loosing ground on the Kenyans'

Yes you are being passed by a camel!
