Hello everyone!

Well I'm sure by now, judging by how many new members there are that probably about 60% of you have no idea who I am... but for those who do...

I'm finally back in the country after spending time in Africa raising around £12000 for the Amani Children's home, which is an orphanage in a little town called Moshi in Tanzania.

Here are some friends and I at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, it was -20C hence the hats. I have to say it was the hardest thing I have done. I just can't begin to describe how hard trekking is at altitude.

This is one of the incredible views I would wake up to every morning, this one is on the way up to base camp.

I really want to climb everest next, but that exhibition is about 70 days... and £30k! eek a lot of saving ;-)

And here is one of the kids from the home.

It was strange to be without the internet for so long.. but now i'm back raring to go, although sad and glad at the same time ;-)

It wasn't all fun and games though, I've been away with work too...

So what you all been up to?

Nope can't speak any of the African languages... luckily for me they all spoke English :-)

Yeah it's pretty amazing these days since Russel Brice started exhibitions up Everest how heavily trafficked it is from people like me!

Nick Heil has just wrote a good book "Dark Summit" about it and Russel Brice.
