Three layers deep in Northerly winds, Red Weather warnings, trees down, the coast path has turned into a slip and slide and several tree induced dents in the van. Turned out to be a hell of a week. Hopefully everyone down here in Cornwall is back up and running again?

Some sporadic great weather aside, I've had a decent training block, sacked off a few races and opted for consistency and structure. There have been A LOT of hill reps and a fair amount of actually remembering to do some speed work... Inevitable itchy feet time, best start browsing some early season races 👀.

From hitting my sub 24 hour goal in my first 100 miler at the Arc of Attrition in January, to the Baffin Island Expedition with our 7 first ascents completed in April. The start of the year took a lot more out of me than I'd probably anticipated, so the rest of the year was a bit more causal with plenty of family adventures and a couple of races squeezed in.
As ever a huge thanks to everyone for all the support, encourage and inspiration. Particular thanks to all my Family and friends that have made it possible by helping out along the way with various children or dog sitting duties for these ridiculous schedules. (sorry!)
A big shout out and thanks to the sponsorship and support from and who have provided a lot to make all of this possible.

I'd fancied a recee of the Dartmoor 600s, a circular route, bagging the Dartmoor Hills over 600 metres. Winters not the best time to do it and by the first thigh high river crossing I'd realised I was in for a rough day. Add in the Fur Tor bogs then chuck in the 50mphish gusts over the high ground and that about topped it off. I'd ended up wearing everything in my pack, including the "emergency" layers that never usually see the light of day.
Over an hour later than planned and significantly soggier I slipped back into the start and end point of Lydford! I'll revisit in Summer.

We're pleased to share that all of our summits have been confirmed as first ascents.
We had an initial false start when high winds turned us around from our intended snowmobile drop off point on the Kingnait Fiord. A couple of days later, on the 10th of April, we opted for a different drop location on the edge of the National Park to avoid further high winds. We spent three days portaging our kit up on to the Nerutusoq Glacier from where we made a couple of first ascents. We then travelled over to the Fork Beard Glacier for our next camp and made another two first ascents and a failed bid on a third peak.
Our plan to move on to the Gateway Glacier for our main objectives was haulted after we were unable to find a traversable pass due to glacier recession and a lack of snow cover. Instead we remained on the Fork Beard Glacier and went on to make another three first ascents on a previously unvisited glacier. Finally, we skied out via the Weasel River Valley over four days and arrived back in Pangnirtung on the 30th of April.
After some consultation with the locals (and pronunciation lessons) the peaks have been named as follows;
1 Uppijjuaq 1823m
2 Minas Tirith 1950m
3 Aqviq 1860m
4 Inutuaq 1637m
5 Ukaliq 1532m
6 Uvingajuq 1615m
7 Atangiijuq 1600m
More to follow in our full trip report, coming soon!

A coveted Black Buckle on the first attempt at the 100 mile distance. Utterly blown away.
I can not thank my Super Crew enough for being there to support and get me through it. I couldn't have done it without you.
Thanks for all the messages and congratulations!

If you somehow missed it, in January this year myself and Neil Cox completed a 21 day Expedition, in a gruelling attempt to be the first to cross Iceland from North to South in the winter.
Finally the write up is complete and available to read via the link in my bio. Alternatively, there is a download available in PDF format at the bottom of the blog.
As always any comments and feedback welcome. Hope you enjoy it!
Many thanks to our Expedition sponsors:
