What is Nepal like and going to Everest? It's an incredible journey and what an adventure. It's the third time I've been in the region climbing high summits or journeying through it's lands.

Here's some shots from this years trip. Who fancies a trip next year?

Moving higher up the mountains. Now at 4500m and the trees are disappearing. We'll be climbing a few of the smaller peaks over the next few days.

Can't wait for more big adventures.

I love this shot from day 3 of the Everest Base camp trek. What a sight 😍🔥

Fun first week back in Nepal. Headed over to Pokhara to do some stuff with the Gurhka Well Fair Trust.

Back over to Kathmandu to meet clients before helicoptering into Lukla and then on to Namche. All rather exciting so far, apart from 11 hours in a 4x4 on horrific roads, my back didn't like that at all.....

The big mountains have finally come into view today and there's more just around the corner. 💥🔥

Who might fancy a trip out here next year?

It's been a while since I was Nepal, I am excited about going back. The adventure and journey starts today.........

Starting to work on next years Malvern Hills t-shirt - what do we think?

17/10/2024

The great sailing adventure.

The Ionian Islands in Greece are lovely at this time of year. Our first charter of a 41 ft boat.

We've been climbing, snorkeling with barracuda, cave exploring, dolphins have shown us the way, cute towns and taverners, lovely food.... Quality adventure.

Starting to think about merch and colours for next years events and races already. It always takes longer than you think to bring all the bits of the puzzle together.

Last year at the Malvern Hills race I went for high quality wooden medals, that people seemed to like. Funky colours was requested and I like that. 🏃

What do you think about this first knock up? 🤷🙋

Brecon Beacons 10 Peak Challenge - Hike for Mike

This one brought a group of old school friends back together to traverse the Brecons in aid of our dear friend Mike who sadly lost his battle with cancer a couple of weeks ago, leaving behind Kate - his wife and their 3 young children.

This was our fundraiser to help support Kate and her 3 young kids - https://www.gofundme.com/f/michael-cawley-fundraiser-brecon-beacon-10-peak-challenge

It was amazing to get together and go into the mountains as friends. The mountains, as we know, are tricky playgrounds and the weather yesterday was grim. There were a few breaks from the rain and lifts from the clouds that gave way to the views we love.

A team, together, to remember our friend Mike.

Bonkers - 82 x 4000 meter summits in 19 days under human power alone. Kilian Jornet - ran and cycled between all 82 peaks in the Alps above 4000 meters. Here's the stats:

1207 Kms
75,344 meters of height gain
5 hours of sleep a night

That's 4000 meters of height gain, 64 km of distance every day and over very technical terrain, including climbing. To put this in prospective the previous record was by world-renowned Swiss alpinist Ueli Steck who climbed all 82 peaks over 4000m in the European Alps over 62 days in the summer of 2015.

62 days to 19 days - that's utterly mind blowing.

Quote from the man himself:

“19 days after getting started on Piz Bernina, my dream of climbing all 82 4000 meter peaks of the Alps using only human power to link them together came true on Dôme and Barre des Écrins, the westernmost of them all.
This was, without any doubt, the most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my life, mentally, physically, and technically, but also maybe the most beautiful.
It’s difficult to process all my emotions just now, but this is a journey that I will never forget.

I want to thank again all the people who supported me or climbed with me throughout this project.

It’s time to rest for a bit now!”

What a legend!!!!!!!!

The Miroir d'Argentine - I've only climbed this once before with Jason about 14 years, so it was great to go back with Rebecca and do another lap today.

I had forgotten how long the face is and how hard / sustained some of the pitches are. I was glad to have a small trad rack to plug some gaps.

Great adventure climbing at its best.

Some shots of the ascent of Tour D'Ai 2331m. It was meant to be quite a straight forward outing but with cloudy weather and very low visibility on an extremely steep cliff - got the heart rate up. The via ferrata itself was in fact pretty 'pumpy' in places.

The best part of the day was being able to mountain bike to the highest lift, walk in from there, climb and then downhill bike off to the town below - god I love the Alps.

The Welsh 3000s - all 15 peaks in Wales above 3000ft

The beast. For anyone that has had a crack at the Welsh 3000s knows how difficult it really is. 50 km and 4000 meters of ascent is tough at the best of times but throw in all the scrambling, steep ground, slippy grass and starting / finishing in the dark and you know that 'you're on an adventure'.

Well done to all the team yesterday - hero efforts from everyone.

Multi-pitch sport climbing course in the Wye Valley

Will and Ed going for it at Woodcroft quarry yesterday. A solid effort from both of them.

16/08/2024

A wonderful few weeks of mountain events such as the Welsh 3000s, the 3 Peaks, abseil events at the Strand in central London, archery events and more. Plus the usual mix of running, climbing, mountain biking, paragliding and generally getting outside. Although a hurty back has really stopped play in the past 6 days, apart from very gentle runs and walks.

Looking forward to what's coming up next with Survival Events for the Royal British Legion, Nepal treks with Kenton Cool and a Morocco expedition - which still has places, if anyone is keen to get involved with?

15/08/2024

Morocco Expedition - 7th to the 12th December 2024

Looking for two more people to join this trip / expedition. It's a huge amount of fun and an introduction to winter mountaineering course - all at the same time whilst summitting 4 x 4000m meter peaks including Mt Toubkal at 4167m - the highest point in Northern Africa.

All logistics, transport, food, porters, accommodation, guides etc provided. It's UK flights you need to purchase.

If you're keen comment below or send me an email. Here's so shots from the last trip.

Toby Roberts - Gold at the Olympics

This is a lovely story. He's only 19 and his parents built him a climbing wall in the garden so he could train. Four years later the plan came together - what an achievement.

I am sure we all 'doff our caps' - good work sport.

I am always a bit nervous on take offs but I think that's a good thing. I go through all the pre-flight checks, make a flight plan and action. Flying in the Alps is so amazing 🤩 #adventure #events #paragliding #flying #alps

Something a little different on Monday after a short break, I was back teaching archery. I've actually been a qualified archery instructor for 22 years - not many people know that.

Somewhere in the mountains of Britain.....

An amazing climb through St Stephens Church in Bath to get to the roof.

Putting the time into training pays off when you can head out into the mountains and jump off a mountain summit and be back on the ground in minutes. Great to be in the Lake District putting some hours into paragliding 😍😎 #adventure #events

We're just working on all the photos from yesterday and will get them out very soon but I thought I'd share this from yesterday. Mega 😍

Here we go 😍😍😍 MHTHM 2023

Here we go folks. The first drop off happens tomorrow. I've got a van full of merch and kit. Then next one will be Friday. This is going to be the best Malvern Hills race ever - I am going all out - you'll have to trust me 💖

Here we go, a first crack at the Malvern Hills Trail Half Marathon route information video. It's not edge of your seat stuff but it might help a few folk out with further details 🧐🧐🧐 #adventure #events #MHTHM

You've gotta got those miles in...... Things are really ramping up with a looming 100 km race next month. Anyone else fancy joining Nick and I on the Butcombe Ultra on the 29th April yomping around the Mendip Hills - it's the weekend after the Malvern Hills race, so you can use that as a warm up :) Anyway, must get lots of miles in the legs. It's always good to have something to aim for right? #adventure #events

A fun little outing to the Brecons today. There wasn't much to go at but this was fun for a few hundred meters. Got to make the most of it whilst it's there 🙏😍
