Dumball - Could this be the last IMOM Dumball Blog? I don't think so!
Hi everybody and my apologies for not blogging sooner. We arrived back in the UK just after midnight on Sunday and it's been chaos ever since. We are all happy to be back but a little sad that it's over. It really was the best fun ever despite the heat, crap hotels and long drives. The Dumball spirit now lives in us and the other 93 Dumballers who took part.
The amount of money raised is still to be determined and we'll be sure to let everybody know when it has. Our own sponsorship has topped £4,000 and today stands at a magnificent £4,120.27. We still think that there may be a bit more money to be squeezed out from somewhere but we realise we may not quite meet our very ambitious target of £5,000. It is still a huge amount of money and definitely one of the highest amounts raised by any team so (and I know I keep saying this) THANK YOU to everybody who sponsored us.

Please keep visiting us as we have more news to post about the fund raising and probably I'll find some more photos of mountains just to keep the dose going, and remember, there's still time to sponsor us if you haven't already (or again if you want, we don't mind).
PS - The guy we spoke to in Albania on Day 6 seems to have sponsored us for £25.00. Just proves that they are really nice people and once they get their roads sorted out we should all visit.
