Hi Guys, Today is the 16th May 2016, a pretty standard day for most people going about their work and general day to day activities I would imagine. Today is also just another day for me too, but exactly five years ago things were quite different. I was stood on the summit of Mt Everest! A height of 8848M almost 30,000ft above sea level, an experience I will never forget. It was all very surreal; my Sherpa, Dorje, and I arrived on the summit at 8.30am after having hauled ourselves up over the famous Hillary Step. The ascent was difficult with the oxygen levels being low; I devised a strategy, I would take 10 steps, rest, another 10 steps and rest and so on. I knew this method would eventually get me to the top – I simply repeated the process and kept going. It was a long slog through […]

Hi Guys, As I sit here typing this it’s hard to believe that my book is now published and available. It’s been a very long road to get to this point and it still hasn’t sunk in that this chapter of my life, i.e writing my first book is now over. It was a long process taking over a year to write but the concept that has never let me down of “just keep going” has worked for me yet again. I’m already working on my next book which will be very exciting considering the experiences and situations I have found myself in over the past two years. My next adventure will form the final part of the next book too, so let’s see what happens. I think things are going to get interesting this summer! I do need to say a massive thank you to everyone who attended my […]

It’s with great sadness that I have to report that myself and Anthony were rescued 48 hours ago. We were 600 miles into our Atlantic crossing when Anthony became extremely unwell and needed urgent medical attention. Thanks to the fast response from the UK Maritime Agency, a 200 metre long bulk carrier called “Angele N” was diverted to make the evacuation. After 20 hours on board the commercial vessel, the Spanish coastguard extracted us via helicopter back to Tenerife for medical treatment. Anthony is now recovering. We want to thank the Spanish and UK maritime authorities who co-ordinated the rescue. Those people who know me will be aware that this is the second time I have been rescued at sea, and as one would imagine, I am extremely disappointed, but safety must always come first. I want to thank everyone for the continued support and I will be in touch with […]
