Breakfast on as hilltop at 6:45am . Patchy nights sleep but when you wake up in such an amazing place, you really don't care :)

Offa's dyke : Day 1 complete

I am currently 450 metres above sea level perched on top of a hill in my tent - not exactly what I had in mind, on the plus side the weather is calm and there's no noise (it's quieter than my sex-life!).
The reason I find myself here is because, in an attempt to snatch an extra mile or two in the fading light, I was set-upon by a gang of fog and could not see more than a few meters thus my only option was to camp for the night and get going as early as possible tomorrow.
The day has been fairly successful, I've managed 15 miles (about what I hoped for), my body has not suffered too badly and I'm already in my sleeping bag :)

Menu del dia:
Chicken Cup-a-soup
Super-Noodles (made with water from a puddle)
Loads of chocolate
Granola and other healthy shit

Hopefully the phone signal tomorrow will be better than today - The future's bright, The future's .... Not got a bloody signal!!!!

Ben Nevis : September 2010

Tori Yates, Dave Marks, James Parry and Myself decided that it would be a bit of a laugh to climb Ben Nevis, it was an idea that was born in a pub and as it turned out the trip seemed to follow that same course.
The initial plan was to climb Nevis, the finalized plan was to do a 'Jager-Train' on top of Nevis - the highest 'Jager-train' on mainland Great Britain ( unofficially ). We completed the 'Train' and managed several more days of high quality drinking, all topped-off with a blinding curry in Glasgow. Not the classic camping experience but one hell of a laugh!!














































North Downs : Day 6

Friday 23rd October 2009

Westwell to Canterbury - 19 miles

More sunshine for the final leg of the walk and thankfully so, the pains in my body had got to pretty uncomfortable levels and my legs were held together with tape, any distraction was a good thing.
115 miles . . . job done!
