The humanitarian side of our expeditions is someth

The humanitarian side of our expeditions is something I don’t really speak a lot about.

We are really committed to making a difference in this world through our adventures, expeditions and trips.

Our latest project in Kilimanjaro we have nearly finished this classroom build and we just need to find some money to fit the glass in the window frames, which we hope to do soon 🙏

On our last expedition we provided the teachers with new windows 14 computers to assist as teaching aids.
This could not have been done without the support. 🌟🏔️ in particular @dsenvironmental @denissheridan97 @marian_timmonshike @mcgovernoconnor 🙏 your a game changer in these kids lives.

We believe that every child deserves access to quality education and the boundless opportunities it brings. That’s why we’re on a mission to provide underprivileged schools in Kilimanjaro with an opportunity, opening doors to a world of knowledge and innovation.

Laptops enable teachers to access educational resources, lesson plans, and professional development materials. Empowered educators can provide better support and guidance to their students.

Your support can make a lasting impact on the lives of these students. Together, we can bridge the digital divide and create a brighter future for the next generation in Kilimanjaro.

As we climb the mountain of progress, let’s ensure that no child is left behind. Together, we can empower education, ignite young minds, and build a better, more equitable world. 🌍✨

Not only do we climb Mount Kilimanjaro, but we visit the locals and embrace their culture and we leave more behind than we take away.

In 2024 we are looking to support women’s personal health care and are seeking support and learn in this area - If you want your expedition to be of greater good then join us and help make a difference through adventure. New dates have been added for Kilimanjaro 2024.

Getting ready for altitude.

Philip dropped in to us today at the human performance lab for a quick ramp test before we set off for Nepal in September.

I did a cardiac respiratory and metabolic physiology test to see that the training effects has brought him to the right conditions to handle the pressure of altitude.

🌬️ 💨 Fresh Air, Fresh Mind!

Some times we just need to Breathe.

Breathe in the crisp mountain air and feel your mind rejuvenate. Fresh air increases oxygen levels, improving cognitive function and mental clarity.

Combined with any form of outdoor physical activity It triggers the release of endorphins, the "feel-good" hormones. You experience a natural high and a mood boost as you ascend to new heights.

I’ve always found I’ve gained a new outlook on life from the mountaintop. Scaling heights helps you see the bigger picture, providing clarity and perspective on your problems and goals.

Hiking or Mountain climbing demands a balance of mental focus and physical endurance. This integration enhances the mind-body connection, promoting overall well-being.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the wilderness fostering a deep connection with nature, this connection reduces anxiety, lift mood, and increases the feelings of positivity.

Step by step, you become one with nature. While out hiking or climbing i encourage mindfulness as you focus on each movement, each breath, and being in the present moment, allowing you to escape from distractions and find inner peace.

So, are you ready to take your mental health to new heights?

Strap on those boots, and let your mountain journey be your transformative journey towards a healthier mind! 🧗‍♂️
