    It’s hard to tell in the middle of the night but when I woke up it was clear that something was wrong. My stomach was cramped and sitting up was such an effort that I had to lie back down immediately. It had been raining all night and the mosquitoes were lined up outside my…

    After 4 weeks in the mountains of the Loppa Peninsula I am now in the saddle of my trusty bike, known variously as “The Beast of Burden”, “The Machine” or simply “Bob”. You can read more here and see live updates in the window below. Updates from the saddle If the panel above isn’t working…

    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…

    Having produced my first newsletter earlier this week, it occured to me that an update on what’s going on might be on order. Here goes: It is five days until I head to Norway with BSES and my bike. The expedition’s been building up for over a year now and there will be 50 of…

    I’ve got a new hobby: I call it “running with my bike”. I jump in the saddle, pedal somewhere green, jump off and start running with my bike. When I get to the other side/bored/tired, I hop back on Bob (my bike, the “Beast Of Burden”) and cycle back. It’s wonderfully simple but it has…

    Next month I am off to Norway on an expedition with the British Schools Exploring Society (BSES). It barely seems as though I have unpacked from Russia and I’m already gearing up for another expedition but I wouldn’t want it any other way. This expedition will comprise some 36 teenagers and a dozen leaders, of…
