:23:35. > :23:44.Leslie has decided to return and reach the summit. I decided to get
:23:45. > :23:50.back down the mountain. There was another guy I try to rescue as well
:23:51. > :23:56.but I can rescue them both. It makes me so proud I managed to save a life
:23:57. > :24:03.but being so close would be on my mind for the rest of my life. The
:24:04. > :24:08.ex-serviceman was to use the challenge to raise money for the
:24:09. > :24:11.soldiers charity. He needs to raise ?50,000 in sponsorship first. Some
:24:12. > :24:17.local businesses are helping out. Personal trainer Nick life is
:24:18. > :24:26.helping out to get him fit for free. Is the ultimate challenge really. We
:24:27. > :24:36.try to replicate positive physical and mental attributes. Also the
:24:37. > :24:41.mental side of things as well. We put him under tests and challenges,
:24:42. > :24:44.test how well he can make decisions while tired. Fiancee Lindsey and a
:24:45. > :24:52.two-year-old daughter Emma are preparing for an anxious few months
:24:53. > :24:56.back home. It's worrying but I have confidence he will do it and
:24:57. > :25:01.hopefully he will be one of the first up. To stand on top of that
:25:02. > :25:13.mountain is going to affect me big-time. I'll probably be in tears.
:25:14. > :25:21.Duly big softy really -- you're a big softy, really! He hopes to start
:25:22. > :25:23.his adventure in April. You can follow his progress on his Facebook
:25:24. > :25:31.page. Freezing last night -
:25:32. > :25:47.more of the same? There will be no snow. It will be as
:25:48. > :25:52.chilly as last night. I'll put some of the pictures on the Facebook page
:25:53. > :25:58.in the next hour. It has been a dreary day. Tomorrow is brighter
:25:59. > :26:03.with plenty of sunshine around but it will be winding along the coast
:26:04. > :26:07.so it will feel more here and high pressure dominates into Thursday, a
:26:08. > :26:10.very frosty start to the day on Thursday with clear skies,
:26:11. > :26:14.temperatures a few degrees below freezing so Thursday will feel
:26:15. > :26:18.chilly indeed. Temperatures creeping up on Friday but that means cloud
:26:19. > :26:21.and rain. The cloud at the moment, you can see the best of the breaks
:26:22. > :26:26.will be in the east and you can also see the progression that cloud is
:26:27. > :26:29.making down from the northwest, with it slightly milder air through this
:26:30. > :26:35.evening and overnight, so no problems with frost is coming night.
:26:36. > :26:38.There may be showers around part of South Yorkshire and eastern parts as
:26:39. > :26:41.well and that breeze will pick up along the coast, becoming strong and
:26:42. > :26:48.gusty later with temperatures falling to around three or four
:26:49. > :26:56.Celsius. The sun will rise at 8:24am and settle just before 4pm and high
:26:57. > :27:01.water over the next half hour. There may be some patchy cloud to start
:27:02. > :27:05.the day, the odd shower but plenty of sunshine quickly spreads from the
:27:06. > :27:09.north. Most of us tomorrow will see sunshine and the cold crisp winter's
:27:10. > :27:18.day, if you shower was being blown in on the cost -- a few showers
:27:19. > :27:21.being blown in on the gust and temperatures around 56 Celsius but
:27:22. > :27:31.it will feel cooler in the wind. Inland, the breeze is like. Still a
:27:32. > :27:40.chilly day at 56 Celsius. -- five or six Celsius.
