Manchester, Dover street. This is how I feel today. My path is continuously laid with obstacles. Every time I think I can relax some more obstacles are put in front of me. Even if I can jump the iron gate someone has put a wall just after and god knows what I'm going to find behind...
Seventeen teams lined up for the inaugural Energy Against Hunger Challenge 30.10.14 - a super tough 5km obstacle course.
Together we're aiming to raise £20,000 in support of The Hunger Project's work in 17,000 villages across South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America.
Give us a hand to reach the target - www.justgiving.com/teams/energy-against-hunger
Who will emerge victorious from the muddiest trenches, cargo net climbs, tyre walls, pontoon lake crossings and the unforgettable Hell River to be crowned the top corporate, legal, accounting, banking or advisory team in the sector?

Après quelques efforts, j'ai réussi à franchir cet obstacle, dont le dénivelé n'est pourtant pas très important !

Good morning Durban!
"Today will never come again. Be a blessing. Be a friend. Encourage someone. Take time to care. Let your words heal, and not wound" ~ via a Bridgette Pacy-Tootell recent post
A few days ago I posted a photo of kayak paddling out towards the sun and a tug boat with the caption "If you reading this you're alive you're breathing you're lucky. Have a smashing Friday and weekend 😊".
Many of you loved that photo; it told a story and had meaning.
The next day I was at North Beach and briefly met this gentleman (in photo), in his wheel chair, moving slowly along the promenade, soap and face cloth packed, towards the cold showers to bath.
I snapped (happily) some photos and then went to greet him. I was expecting a smiling chap with "only" no use of his legs. Shock awaited me when I found that, in addition to "no legs", he was riddled with disabilities all round. He could barely speak to me.
This got me thinking... and I don't know the real answer...
Do our taxes, Lotto funds, city rates and so on get used efficiently by the relevant authorities to help needy persons?
Please don't answer hereunder, but kindly do question the "right" persons one on one or in the appropriate forum if you're in a position to do so.
There were many Anti-Invasion Obstacles, one such obstacle is 'Admiralty Scaffolding' also known as 'Obstacle Z.1' or sometimes simply given the name 'Beach Scaffolding' or 'Anti-Tank Scaffolding' it was a British design of an anti-tank and anti-boat obstacle made of tubular steel poles. These were widely deployed on beaches of southern England, eastern England and the south western peninsula during the invasion crisis of 1940 to 1941, scaffolding was also used, though more sparingly, inland.
Of a number of similar designs, by far the most common was designated 'Obstacle Z.1' this design comprised of upright tubes 9ft high and 4ft 10in apart, these were connected by up to four horizontal tubes, each upright was braced by a pair of diagonal tubes, at about 45° to the rear, 20ft wide sections were preassembled and then carried to the sea to be placed in position at the half tide mark as an anti-landing obstacle for boats.
However, trials found that a 250 ton barge at 5 1⁄2 knots (6.3 mph) or an 80 ton trawler at 7 1⁄2 knots (8.6 mph) would pass through the obstacle as if it were not there and a trawler easily pulled out one bay with an attached wire rope. Tests in October 1940, confirmed that tanks could only break through with difficulty, as a result Obstacle Z.1 was adopted as an anti-tank barrier for beaches thought suitable for landing tanks. As an anti-tank barrier it was placed at or just above the high water point where it would be difficult for tanks to get enough momentum to break through the barrier. In some places, two sets of scaffolding were set up, one in the water against boats and one at high water against tanks.
The problem of securing the anti-tank barriers on sand was overcome by the development of the sword picket by Stewarts & Lloyds, this device was later known at the Admiralty as the ''Wallace Sword''. Anti-tank barriers varying in length from a couple of hundred feet to three miles were constructed consuming 50% of Britain's production of scaffolding steel at an estimated cost of £6,600 per mile (equivalent to £360,000 today) despite this, many miles of Admiralty Scaffolding was erected using more than 15,000 miles of scaffolding tube. After the war, the scaffolding got in the way of swimmers, and the scaffolding was soon removed for scrap and any remaining traces are now very rare, but are occasionally revealed by storms.
