Amazing news. A team of 10 Sherpas stood on the summit of K2 40 minutes ago. They are descending in darkness now. No Sherpas have been included in any other winter ascents of 8000m peaks. It is so right that this, the hardest and last is theirs. Safe descent guys 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻😀

Fine story in @FT about record number of #mountaineers attempting winter assent of #K2winter. A death wish, perhaps? Fear we'll hear more news on this in coming weeks. Recall @alanhinkes telling me it was terrifying enough in summer!

Watched Everest the Hard Way again on YouTube. Old school leader Bonnington, militant anti authoritarian Doug Scott, a grizzled Pete Boardman, wily Hamish MacInnes and an impossibly young looking Dougal Haston and the tragedy of Mick Burke’s death. Inspired me as a teenager

Pathways LOtC students unpacking the Paddleboards! A big thank you to the Charitable Trust who gave LOtC the grant.
Hopefully, DofE Silver on the Wye next year....@DofE @Aqauplanet @giftyourgear @CLOtC

Sad news to hear Doug Scott has passed. He was a truly inspirational mountaineer who along with Haston and McIntyre led the charge for the generations to come. A giant of his time

So following our recent Ofsted inspection under the new framework, several people have asked me to share my "deep dive" experiences as a HOD of English. Here are the slides I shared with English teachers across our trust this afternoon:
