Ben, you should weigh about 150kg with your diet!! Once you get past 50 and your metabolism starts to slow down…watch out!

One of those Park summits is possibly wrong - I think Andy @MM0FMF went and moved one so I have to go back and re-complete my ES total.
Easy for you, long long drive for me

Hahaa, I’ve always been a massive believer in full fat products, blue top milk… full fat butter & cheese etc etc… all natural. As long as you keep active

Another enthusing adventure Fraser, and superbly documented as always.
Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks Jon. Hopefully I can fit in another overnighter before the end of the summer.

Brilliant account and a very, very good achievement. As usual some brilliant photos to match.

It was a one-way leap as the launch bank was significantly higher. The photo is a screen grab from my GoPro session, which is tiny and lives on my walking pole. Can you work it out from there?
You left one of your walking poles behind to support the camera, and then retrieved it by catching the wrist loop with your antenna mast? Thanks for an excellent report Fraser, this is really inspiring!

Nice report Fraser and I spotted the rally freebie 
I thought I spotted an alert for a new YT video to watch, along with the other 74 alerts I have.

Cheers John. Part 2 will follow in a couple of weeks - once I have got round to editing it.
You’ll have to help me out with that one?

I enjoyed watching both videos last night. I was struck at how much further, and ambitious, your adventure was, when compared to my recent overnight trip!
Regarding kit in the pack, I had a fairly similar list of items. My Mountain Equipment Starlight 1 sleeping bag was a bit warm really, I should have swapped it for my XYL’s thinner one. I bought an Alpkit Cloudbase sleeping mat in the sale and it was brilliant, really comfy, and not bulky at all. I got the drybag to match the mat, which doubles up as a pump.
I was looking at the titanium sporks etc in Alpkit Ilkley yesterday and drooling - had I known that they were the secret to ultralight expeditions, I would have forked out the £7 or £8!
