Unfortutely it can’t be too active, well by that I mean I can’t do any repetitive knee movements (well not for the next 6 months). I injured my knee training for the South Downs Randonnee in 2007 and I ended up having to have a lateral release, real life example here. I’ve had to have one operation and am waiting on the other now, with a 12 month recovery period. Anyway the South Downs Randonnee is a 100 mile mountain bike ride from Winchester to Eastbourne across the south downs way and has to be finished in around 12 hours.

My second big event was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa which was simple amazing. It is just short of 6000m and took 7 days to complete the climb. I’m one of the above in the photo, that was an additional bet for a few additional pounds.

But now I am stuck for what to do? So far I have thought of maybe climbing Mount Cho Oyo, or infact summiting any mountain naked, walking the Bering Straight, or canoeing the Amazon, your ideas and suggestions below please.

Just a little over a year ago a group of 7 of my friends and I succesfully summited Mount Kilimanjaro by the Machame route raising just over £12,000 for the home. This money was used towards a playground for the children and towards their family reunification project.

It’s great to see something that we all worked so hard for to come to fruition, so big thanks to everyone at iCrossing who contributed and to all my family and friends.

I’ve been thinking of other charity fundraising ideas for next year such as maybe climbing Mount Cho Oyo, walking the Bering Straight, or canoeing the Amazon.

So I would much welcome your ideas below.

Thanks to everyone and especially my mum who brought me my nice down expedition sleeping bag
