The teams spiritual leader, as the most experienced climber most of the others gravitate towards him for leadership and reassurance. One urban myth circulating the depot recently was that Sean has asked Tony if he can hold his hand up Scarfell because he had heard it was 'well scary'. Unlike the rest of the group Tony has actually climbed one of the mountains (Snowdon) and even owns some kit already, which he proved by brining it all into work last thursday to show everyone. Well done Tony.

Most Likely To: Lose his rag with Nigel when he starts crying after 5 minutes of climbing
Until recently no one was actually sure Shaban had any legs as he'd never actually been seen without being sat on his Fork Lift Truck. After several hours of prodding with a big stick he finally got out of the cab to punch Sean, thus proving that he does in fact have legs. Shaban's main contribution to the team will undoubtedly come from his experience in the Albanian Army, although we are not supposed to ask him about what happened there.
Favaurite Quote: "I'm very impressed Tony..." (is his answer to almost any question, whether Tony is present or not?)
Favaurite Food: Cheese Sandwich
Most Likely To: Be the first to suggest cannibalism if we end up stranded on one of the mountains
Sean is confident he will be able to complete the challenge because he once 'climbed Etna and Versuvius' what he fails to mention is that he did these whilst on holiday in flip flops, it has also been claimed that he managed to get to the top of these volcanoes via the specialist climbing technique known as the cable car? As the most volatile in the team, Sean will most likely have to be sedated after the first mountain to stop him killing the rest of us.

Most Likely To: Be heard saying "sod the lot of you I'll do it on my own" as he goes storming off on his own in a huff...
Favaurite Band: Simply Red
A surprise late inclusion in the team. Nigel is expected to be near the front of the group pushing the pace on somewhat to make sure he is home dead on 4.20pm, otherwise he will be in trouble with the Mrs (apparently). An acomplished musician, Nigel has threatened to take a Jazz Harmonica up with him on the trek which resulte in numerous witty responses from everyone else, all along the same lines using words such as sun, where, shine, don't, I'll, shove and it!!!
Most likely to: Forget to order the water for the challenge

Odds on Crying Whilst on a Mountain: 1/3
A man of very few words, Symo tends to express himself through a series of grunts. According to urban legend Symo is a bit of a local hardman and he'll need to draw on all his strength to make it up the 3 peaks, and to hold the rest of team back from assulting Sean and/or Nigel as they compete for the title of biggest whinger.
Hobbies: Growing beards
Favaurite Food: MEAT!
Most Likely To: Deny we can get to Snowdon on the day... "We're Just Not In The Area... You'll Have To Pay For a Courier"
According to Mark, he is the pretty boy of the team and even claims to use the same hair stylist as David Beckham? Mark's inclusion in the team was decided at a very early stage. Tony announced we could not complete this without him, why? Not only can Mark read a map and use a compass BUT as an actual card carrying student, we can use Mark to get money off all our equipment from Milletts!

Most Likely To: Lead the calls for everyone to do the challenge in shorts as per the trip to Snowdon in February!
The brains behind the operation. A relative stranger to the rest of the team coming from way up in the north (in the midlands), most of the team can't understand the strange language that Craig speaks; Shabs was overheard saying that he wished Craig would learn to speak English... "proper like what I can...". A calming influence over the rest of the climbers, Craig will have to make sure that morale is kept up, following Nigels harmonica recital and subsequent execution.
Favaurite Quote: Come on Tony, it's your depot you deal with it...
Most Likely To: Get thrown out of the minibus for hiding Tiny's supply of Ginsters
Favaurite Food: Chicken Tikka Bhuna (can we have this at the bottom of Scarfell please Sue...?)
Mark is Jackie's son and so far the only member of the team to have done any form of training. Oh, and he's got some new boots. Nice! As the youngest member of the team, Mark has the unfortunate task of sharing a bunk with Tiny, why Tiny called 'Top Bunk' no one knows but it will be Mark who has to deal with the consequences.
Most Likely To: Put everyone else to shame by raising more money and completing the 3 peaks with ease
As you can see, Marc started his training a little earlier than the rest of us (Nice glasses as well)...
