Today I was at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff to help celebrate the closing ceremony of ‘Project K’ 2013. 10 songs of Peace, 10 schools and roughly 300 children, all benefitting from workshops provided by the Nathan Timothy Foundation. None of this would have been possible if it were not for the generosity of so many of you, helping to support our …
Holy Sunrise Batman!
I thought I’d get one more run in the hills before our Three Peaks Challenge this coming Friday, and not wanting to bake myself too much in this heat, I aimed to hit the summit of Pen y Fan for sunrise. After a ridiculous wake up call, I was feeling pretty smug with myself. Feeling fit, having hit the summit …
This Isn’t Training, It’s Playing!
I’ve been kept busy lately with a few exciting projects that I will be posting about very soon. In the meantime, enjoy this amazing moment last night on the summit of Pen Y Fan, at sunset. I’ve been trying to whip my backside into shape for the completion of our ‘Project K’ Three Peaks Challenge, and what better …
Ben Nevis Go Pro Hero
Our Three Peaks Challenge may have been beaten by a faulty clutch cable, but I had an absolute blast climbing Ben Nevis in winter conditions! It was an amazing experience, and one I’m grateful to have been a part of. I had borrowed a Go Pro to shoot some footage along the way, but little did I know that this …
A Slight Hitch
A quick update on our Three Peaks Challenge. For those who are not yet aware, we had to abort our Challenge due to circumstances beyond our control. Our bus broke down between Ben Nevis and Scafell Pike and, somewhat incredibly, there was no back up plan or back up bus provided by the organisers, which left us with no option …
‘Project K’ Has Lift Off!
‘Project K‘ is about to take off! Scott and I are waiting to board our flight to Glasgow where we’ll meet up with Nathan and the rest of the team. Tomorrow we drive up to Fort William to begin our challenge. Honesty, I’ve been blown away by everybody’s generosity. Support has come not just from friends and family, but people …
Frozen Star Jumps
So March 2013 is set to be one of the coldest in thirty years, and that forecast seemed spot on today over the peaks of the highest mountains in southern Britain. Steep climbs, freezing temperatures, and bands of heavy, driving snow. It was great! After a long haul up to the summit, walking into the wind and snow, the cloud …
Two Months To Go!
I was back up the Brecon Beacons today with a fellow Three Peaks team member, Scott. It was our first time out walking together and it was great to have someone along for company, and with our combined expert navigational skills we almost definitely knew where we were most of the time. My water froze solid again, along with Scott’s …
Double Summit
Yesterday morning I hit the hills again in Brecon, determined to cover more ground and fit in as many steep climbs as I possibly could, even if it meant retracing my own steps. By mid afternoon I’d summited both Pen Y Fan and Corn Du twice, experiencing completely different weather conditions each time. It was a great day, and resulted …
‘W’ Is For Whiteout
So from time to time I’m going to hijack my own blog in a blatant effort to gain a little more exposure for the National Three Peaks Challenge event that I will be taking part in May. Our teams’ chosen charity is the Nathan Timothy Foundation, the number 1 charity in the world dedicated to the empowerment of youth, addressing …
