I did it! It was the hardest thing I've ever done!


7 Peaks In 7 Days For Autism   -    My trip to India was cancelled due to flash floods (see link).  Determined to challenge myself and raise awareness for autism, I conquered 7 peaks in 7 days in 3 countries instead.  It was a total of 44 hours hiking and 6,420 metres of ascent and descent!  For more photos of the challenge click here...For videos of the challenge click here...
