    There was a tangible buzz at base camp and this time we couldn’t attribute it to the mosquitoes. A rumour had started amongst the leader team and it was spreading like wild fire. Actually, we were at Advance Base Camp, or “ABC”. We had left base camp the day before – our team heading up…

    Sitting in hut at 1am on a Saturday night, I got picked up from the Finnmark Plateau this morning with a team of young explorers and some colleagues, and now sit at a laptop, reunited once again with the real world. We’ve been in the mountains for four weeks. The team is winding down before…

    I am currently in Norway. You can read about it here and see live updates here and at the bottom of the page. There is a well-known theory in the study of memory called consolidation. It’s the idea that when you take in new information, you need time to process it such that you retain…

    This is the last post I’m writing before I head to Norway tomorrow. I’d been struggling to think of something clever to write about for some time and this is the best I’ve come up with: I’ve just discovered the shuffle feature on my iPod and I think it’s great. Despite the fact that I …

    I met Chris and George when playing hockey for Hampstead and Westminster ‘Thirsts’ team. It may sound like ‘Firsts’ but that, I assure you, is where the similarity ends.
