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.

3k track run

Ran my 5th fastest 3k on a windy track in 10m 24s. Not the best of times but 13s quicker that 2 weeks ago. Slowly getting quicker again as my ankle recovers

World Challenge Potential Leader Weekend

4 days in Buxton with 8 other Potential Leaders for Expeditions with World Challenge. A fantastic little set up including presentations and an Expedition in the Peak District for 2 nights. We were blessed with fantastic warm sunny, midgy weather. I would recommend looking into this course if you are at all interested with leading expeditions abroard.
