3 December 2023 - The Goodwood Half-marathon.
The Goodwood Half-marathon is my starter goal. I've never been a runner, although I do have a legacy of failed stop-start Park Runs over the last 10 tears. I've been running for 3 months now, easily the longest stretch I've managed to maintain. Lets see how we do on this one!
Done.
January 2024 - Winter Mountaineering Course
Scotland, here I come. Whilst I trekked up Kilimanjaro in December 2011, there was little technical climbing involved. For the climb up Putha Hiunchuli, we'll need more traditional, basic mountaineering skills, such as roping up, using an ice axe, crevasse rescue and so on. Done.
10 March 2024 - Cape Town Cycle Tour, 109km
This is a favourite. I have a few of these under my belt, but this one will be slightly different. I won't have the time to train on the bike as much as I'd like, so I will have to rely on my marathon training instead. That being said, I will try to set a PB here, wind permitting. Done.
14 April 2024 - Manchester Marathon
This is a primary goal for me. Getting my fitness level up to Marathon distance by April will put me on the right trajectory for the big climb. I'm hoping to get home in under four and a half hours as a B goal and under four hours as an A goal. Done.
May 2024 - Climb Mera Peak, Ampulabsta Pass, Island Peak
Ideally, I'd like to put some training into action. This objective is an opportunity to stress test myself and my gear Mera Peak requires some basic mountaineering skills, so it would be great to practice. The Ampulabsta pass is a more technical challenge and a non-negotiable on the way to the even more technical Island Peak. Done.
26 June 2024 - A Night of Extreme Adventure
Join us for a couple of drinks. Members of the team will regale you with stories of past adventures. Join us and be inspired to step out of your comfort zone. All proceeds go to Tensing Norway School, Kagot, Nepal. Done.
