The first ever abseil of the #EmpireStateBuilding is taking place in the name of Outward Bound. This is @thebigrappel, and it’s happening right now. @JaredLeto has kicked off this incredible moment in history, descending nearly 900 feet from the spire. bit.ly/3UKmFTF

Doing the final selection for the 2024 Next Challenge Grant. I love seeing such great ideas every year but so hard to pick just a few. Results out within a week.

Calling all Cumbrian kayakers! @SingletonWayne is planning an 80-mile swim down the Cumbrian coast starting on 5 September and is in need of some boat support. Could you help? He's a Next Challenge Grant winner, raising money for @Brathay. runningconcierge.co.uk/solwa…

In many years of swimming in rivers and lakes I've never seen an eel...and then @NextChallenge and I have each spotted one in the last month (Borrowdale nr Kendal & in the Lune). Critically endangered but making a comeback? @cumbriawildlife

This morning's commute was a 22 mile ride over Shap summit on our e-cargo bike. Getting ready for this weekend's North Lakes Lido Tour.

This week I've been commuting from a campsite. Half term for the kids but work continued for me and this was the compromise: a campsite within cycling distance of an @OutwardBoundUK centre.

Worse ways to start the day than waking up in a tent, pedalling around Ullswater and stopping for a dip on the way. (I'm glossing over the bit where I leave Laura to entertain three under 5s every day for a week).
