Team training continued with a visit to Whinlatter to complete all the trails. Fab weather again and a a minor incident of replacing my broken hanger.

Team Training in the Lakes

Another training session staying awake for 36 hours with 24 hours of activity.

Julia, JC, Dave, Kev and myself racked up at Langdale Campsite on Friday evening and headed out into the hills at 23:20.

More to come soon.... just check out the view at 0430 on top of High Raise. Absolutely Beautiful.

Success on Mt Blanc

A weeks holiday with friends to squeeze in Mt Blanc. Summiting on 2nd July 2009 06:20. Summit day there were fantastic conditions making for some fantastic views. Day before was quite an adventure being in the centre of a lightening clound with our heads buzzing inside our helmets and being struck by flashes. The evening activity for us above our camp at the Gouter hut was rescuing a strucken solo french man crawling in the snow who had been struck and had fallen putting his crampon through his leg. We got him back to the hut where he was stitched up and later helicoptered off.
