New Book – Another Peak

Published in July 2019, ‘Another Peak’ explores mental health challenges through outdoor adventure. It shares an insight into depression and eating disorders whilst rediscovering purpose following two Everest attempts and an expedition to climb Cho Oyu, before embarking on Climb The UK in 2017. Another Peak goes deeper into the peaks and troughs of mental health than ever before, giving hope and inspiration to help others find their own Everest.

The Lake District lived up to its name today on Walk For Nepal @phaseworldwide. Proper rain-spiration. We created the event 5 years ago on Snowdon to raise money for the victims of the Nepal earthquake. It started with 120 people raising £21,000. Since then we've climbed Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis and Carrauntoohill in Ireland. Today the weather luck ran out but this group got out there, raising another £8,500. Some keen souls went for the original plan of Blencathra which I happily swerved for the low level option on Souther Fell.

I felt even softer after meeting some amazing fundraisers for @mind_o_mountains on the way there. @mikeg1409 running The Lap 47-mile ultra around Windermere and @sammaude_ @lozza_kezza in Keswick on day 8 of their Lands End John O'Groats ride. Legends!

Jumping on the bluebell bandwagon. Always a highlight of the year. Missed Rannerdale in lockdown last year but hoping to get back soon whilst it looks like this! Where's your favourite local spot?

When travelling the locals always warn me about their hills. Even when I live next to the Lakes. But these Scottish hills are summit else! Amazing boulder-hopping up Goat Fell with 360 view down to Brodick and a gnarly skyline that makes the Lakeland fells feel rather soft. Fell on a sketchy descent into Glen Rosa but managed to roll sideways and save my knee. Only wish I'd filmed that bit. Brief (very brief) dip in the Blue Pool. Then there was a queue for the chip shop so did another lap along the beach. Not even a midge in sight. Off to buy a lottery ticket...

Phone off for the weekend. Run up nearest hill. Postcard for grandma. If you don't make time for yourself, you better make time to be ill...

So excited to be back on Arran for a 'holiday' of sorts. Almost forgot what they were. My last visit was to climb Goat Fell on Climb The UK in 2017, having strained a quad muscle a few days earlier. Painfully remember the agony of a fully loaded 25kg steel touring bike, seeing the massive climb towards Lochranza and shouting 'FFS' or similar. Equally remember the landscape, chilled vibe, Mediterranean warmth, and vowing to come back one day to explore without any agenda, or torn muscle. By my standards it feels like some sort of spa break.
