http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygbNogXoexc It has been almost 3 months since arriving in London from Kathmandu. A lot of that has been spent recovering, re-training and planning for the future but I have also just come back from the Alps after a fantastic 10 days climbing. I first saw the Matterhorn aged 12 when I was skiing in [...]

Bernard-Paul Heroux: “There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea.” I cannot agree more!! This leads me quite nicely onto the point of this post, and I am happy to say that it is good news. I was proud to be asked if I [...]

First of all I want to direct you all to my Everest 2010 video. It is a compilation of some of the video clips / pics from my expedition and I hope it gives you a good insight into what life is like up there. If nothing else, you can listen to the demise of [...]

Not the most aesthetically pleasing place in the world and the food matched its looks but a few treks on some nearby hills got that acclimatisation process underway. We [...]

I am writing this from China which basically means our journey from Kathmandu to Friendship Bridge which is the border went smoothly, in fact, I don’t think I could have chosen a worse word! Our team departed Kathmandu early on the 6th and the roads were somewhat primitive. As I said in my last post, Katmandu [...]

I am writing this from Kathmandu which is good news in itself as it means I have landed safely. A very good friend of mine seemed to be more jealous of me going to Kathmandu than any other aspect of this trip and in many ways I can see why. After a successful couple of [...]

So, this will be final post before I reach Kathmandu. Never thought I would be writing this… Three years have now passed since this bonkers idea of climbing Everest and the highest mountain on each of the other continents popped into my head. Now all the months, weeks and days have been crossed off my [...]
