2024 Spring Update

2024 started well for me on my final expedition of the old year and first of the new in Kenya. Over the holiday period I led 2 very successful trips for AP with team members reaching the summits of the 4 highest points of the mountain, Batian, Nelion, Point Lenana and Point John. Unfortunately I picked up a bug on the journey home and was slightly off form for the first few weeks of the New Year, which combined with the very wet weather slightly reduced my appetite for mountain biking back home. I had recovered by the time Rebekah and I headed out to Chamonix for a couple of weeks social skiing with old friends and clients, and a pretty good time was had all round. And now, in early April, I am making final preparations for my first big trip of the year to Lhotse in the Khumbu region of Nepal. It is very exciting to be returning to Nepal, meeting up with friends and colleagues and leading a small group to make an attempt on an 8000er. After that I will be returning to the Pamirs, Tien Shan and Norway, and available for guiding in the Lake District between trips. Watch this space!
