Blue Peter Watch

Geth likes his food, we know that, he's fit, we know that, but polishing off a pancake on TV, claiming to run it off tomorrow is just showing off..... However, we did enjoy Geth's trip round to some schools and homes to thank some youngsters who have contributed to the Disk Drive Appeal - and the bits in the studio, where he was not forced to show us his culinary abilities (or lack of!)

GETH'S BLOG (and possibly the worst picture of him I have ever seen....)

Hello everybody,Long time no...typing!! Been mad busy since getting back from a few days off at Christmas after my incredible dancing adventure! Still can't believe I got to the semis, I think you all know from watching Blue Peter what a bad dancer I am/was! It was nice to see friends and family over Christmas and we all sat and watched the Strictly Christmas special on Christmas Day!

I'm back and have already been thrown in at the deep end with a scary, physical and exhausting challenge: climbing the four tallest mountains in the UK - one for each of the four nations - in just 48 hours. Yes, on Feb 12th, my 30th birthday, myself, Andy and Zoe will (hopefully!) be at the top of Snowdon in Wales half way through our epic journey. Where else would you rather be on your birthday than 3,000ft up in the air, -15 degrees and a 2 hour walk back down...in the darkness?!

We should finish at the top of Ben Nevis on Valentines day...how romantic. You'll be able to see exactly what happens on the show plus, of course, on this very blog.

And that's where you lot come in. We'll be carrying four special envelopes on our climb, one to open at the top of each mountain. They'll be filled with letters and pics sent in by viewers living in the nation that the mountain is in eg. Welsh viewers for Snowden, English for Scafell Pike, Northern Irish for Slieve Donard and Scottish for Ben Nevis. You can see which letters make it to the top exclusively here on our video
blogs.

Yours, nervously trying on
