Many thanks to all those who have donated and supported me over the last month, even in these times of economic uncertainty your generosity has been fantastic.

My legs are getting stronger as is my desire to raise as much money as i can for this great cause,

Only 277 days to go to Everest, Hill walking is my goal for next month,I'm going to climb the highest hills Shetland Has to offer, to begin to build the muscles i will be stretching to breaking point while i am in Nepal


Fitful Head is one of Shetlands highest headlands and with its summit reaching 283 metres it has breathtaking views over the Quendale Valley below.

From Mavis Grind you enter a vast and magical landscape dominated by Shetland's highest hill, Ronas Hill (1475ft/450m), topped by a prehistoric chambered burial cairn. The summit has a sub-Arctic climate, with patterns created by freezing and thawing in the stony soils and some rare Arctic/Alpine plants.

 thanks for following my journey so far.

Best Wishes
