Camp IV

I’m 20 days into the Everest Challenge and we’re halfway through.

I’m the one in red, and I’m almost to the Summit.

Steps taken: 225,600

That translates to about 115 miles – that’s the Distance between Dublin and Waterford! With 20 days left to go, I’m sure to reach the summit and hopefully make it back down all for charity!
On a side note, as team captain, I just wanted to point out my team map:

It’s Day 20, and not only did my team together make the top of Everest – we are now also ranked #6 out of the Entire company. The top 5 teams get the money for charity, so now the real race begins – to get into the top 5 AND back down the figurative mountain in the next 20 days! Go Team Mixed-A-Peel!

Everest Part 5 – Camp III

I’m 17 days into the Everest Challenge and I’ve reached the figurative 3rd base camp! I’ve only got 90,000 steps to go. I want to do this in the next 3 days (that’ll be day 20 – halfway through the challenge) so I’m really pushing hard for the top of the mountain.

Tanks General Photo Session

Several of my friends and colleagues in work are in a band, called Tanks General. They’re playing gigs in Dublin, and have a great jazzy blues type sound.

Late last year, I did a photo shoot just before their first Gig. Here’s a few of the best shots, from the Camelot Music Studios, which the guys have used for various promotions.
