🏔️ MY NEXT BIG CHALLENGE: COTOPAXI 2027 🇪🇨

In Early 2027, I will travel to Ecuador to trek the Avenue of Volcanoes before attempting to reach the 5,897-metre summit of Cotopaxi, one of the world’s highest active volcanoes—all to raise vital funds for 3Food4U.

The expedition is rated at the highest difficulty level. It will involve high-altitude trekking, glacier climbing, crossing crevasses and snow bridges, and a summit attempt beginning shortly after midnight.

Before Cotopaxi, I have several progressively demanding challenges ahead:

🥾 This weekend: Yorkshire Three Peaks

I will climb Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough—the three highest peaks in the Yorkshire Dales. The challenge covers approximately 24 miles, with around 5,200 feet of ascent, traditionally completed within 12 hours.

🏔️ 10 October: National Three Peaks Challenge

I will attempt to climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon—the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales—within just 24 hours, including travel time.

🌋 Early 2027: Cotopaxi

This will be the ultimate test of altitude, endurance and determination—and will itself prepare me for my 18th consecutive London Marathon in April 2027.

Every mile and every summit will support 3FoodFinder, which helps around 2,000 families every week with free food, clothing and essentials, without referrals or judgement.

Please follow my journey, share my updates and support my fundraising.

Yorkshire. National Three Peaks. Cotopaxi. Then London Marathon number 18! 💜🏔️🏃🏽‍♂️
