Rubicon RAW dropped me, @rorysouthworth, @megan_hi

Rubicon RAW dropped me, @rorysouthworth, @megan_hine and @jamesmichaelforrest into the wilderness in the dead of night. Tents pitched and ready to go. All we had was our endurance, wits and a supply of Rubicon RAW as we took on a series of head-to-head mountain challenges. Check out all the episodes over @RubiconRAW if you haven't already. #BeAForceOfNature

Bob Graham Round - One week to go. Getting to grip

Bob Graham Round - One week to go. Getting to grips with the GoPro and leg 3/4 before attempting the Bob Graham Round on the 7th August (weather permitting). 66 miles/27,000ft/42 peaks within 24 hours. I've decided to stick to Plan A, going self-supported without pacers or support crew. There's no shame in asking for help, but I want to keep logistics simple, keep to my routine and see what I'm capable of. Doing things the normal way just isn't my thing.

For safety I'll have a live tracker and people on standby, but I'd love a crowd to cheer me home at the finish, around 5pm on Sunday 8th at the Moot Hall in Keswick. Fish and chips welcome...

After my recent training I feel the strongest I've been all year. The perfect moment will never come, and it's the unknown where I feel most excited. I'm lucky enough to even try - not everyone has the same access to nature, and by fundraising for Mind Over Mountains there's nothing to lose either way. Almost 25% towards my £1,000 target so please keep them coming! www.justgiving.com/mindovermountainsbgr

I'll be filming on my GoPro where I can (especially when I don't feel like it) so brace yourself for the terrible motivational quips and one-liners...

"Why did you want to climb Everest?"
"Because it's the highest, Ma'am!"
.
Such an honour to meet HM The Queen at Manchester Cathedral recently. I was lucky to be invited with 5 outstanding people from Cheshire doing work in their communities to support others. Told her all about our work at Mind Over Mountains - she thought it was marvellous. Not sure about Everest though...

24-hour check in. First wild camp of the year in Snowdonia and the new tent. Picked up a Wild Country Zephyros Compact 1 thanks to your suggestions on my recent post. Just the job. Wild camping is suddenly so much more appealing without carrying the kitchen sink. Can't wait to get back out and make the most of the summer!
.
Busy weekend leading two @mind_o_mountains walks in Snowdonia. My car broke down and I ran out of gas which kind of sums up the week Depleted and distracted. Had to miss my planned run in the Carneddau before the car broke again. Definitely needed the recharge under the stars. Sadly didn't work for my car's starter motor...
