Just to close this one off just had this in from Makster. Chapeau to Mark and Dan 
I'm pleased to announce that Cannondale King is the proud new owner of the Fat Chance Buckshaver that was up for auction at Mountain Mayhem.
He was the winning bidder with a bid of £80.
When I first suggested this auction, I was going to allow the winning bidder to nominate which charity the funds went too.
Then, early last week, an Uncle of mine took his own life after struggling to cope with the loss of my Aunty through Cancer.
For this reason I decided to donate the money to Macmillan.
Below is the receipt I received after making the donation, just to be nice and transparent.
Dear Mark Eaton
Thank you very much for your kind donation of £100.
Your donation reference is: D170945
I would like you to know how much we appreciate your decision to support Macmillan at this time. Your gift will enable us to continue to provide vital services and information to people who need our help, for example through our cancer support specialists who can provide bereavement and other emotional support over the phone.
Our goal is to reach and improve the lives of every person in the UK diagnosed with cancer. We want to be there for them at every stage of their cancer journey and to support their families and carers too.
When you're living with cancer, the difference between a good day and a bad day can often come down to really small things. Getting answers on something you're worrying about. Finding out you can get some financial support. Or just having a chat with someone who understands. Every day Macmillan helps thousands of people to have a good day. We provide medical care through our specialist Macmillan health professionals, financial support through Macmillan grants and benefits advice, as well as a wealth of emotional and practical support, which we know makes all the difference.
We rely on voluntary donations for 99% of our income and we simply couldn't do what we do without your support. On behalf of those whom we are able to help, please accept our warmest thanks.
If you would like to find out more about what we do and other ways you can get involved such as volunteering or taking part in events, please visit http://www.macmillan.org.uk/ or contact us on the details below.
Thank you once again for your kind support.
Yours sincerely,
Ciaran Devane

Thank you Dan for your bid, and I'm sure the money will be used well
