More good news this end. I can very proudly announce Knight Frank as a sponsor for the finale of my 7 Summits project. Knight Frank is one of the market leaders for high quality commercial and residential property in London and throughout the UK. Established in 1896, Knight Frank now has 207 offices in 43 [...]

It gives me enormous pleasure and pride to say that I officially have a new sponsor, the University of St Andrews 600 Fund. St Andrews itself is the the oldest University in Scotland and the third oldest in the English speaking world, founded in 1413. It is constantly ranked in the top 5 UK Universities. [...]

I have been back in the UK a day or so now and have managed to make a video of my Vinson expedition. It is 10 minutes long and a compilation of some of the photos & footage from my trip to climb the highest mountain in Antarctica. As much as anything else, I hope [...]

I am now back in Chile after a successful expedition to climb the highest mountain in Antarctica – Vinson Massif – standing at 4892m. Firstly, I want to thank Freddie for updating my blog in my absence. Updates were somewhat limited given the comms on the ice but it was much appreciated. Onto the expedition [...]

It is important to say first of all that we made it to Punta Arenas which is great news. The flight or more precisely, flights, it took three of them, weren’t ideal but after a missed connection through delays, we finally made it to the southern tip of South America. Other than Antarctica itself, this [...]

There are two things that provoke the writing of this post. The first being the fact that I am leaving to go to Antarctica in a few hours but also, I would like to promote a fantastic bit of kit. Pacerpoles are the first poles to use biomechanics to create a more powerful and efficient [...]

Sorry for the extended break between now and my last post – I wouldn’t want to bore anyone with the ins and outs of my non-expeditioning life. I am now under 6 weeks away from getting on a plane destined to Antarctica which is seriously exciting. Getting there seems to be the biggest challenge of [...]

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 [...]
