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.

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.
Done. Thanks everyone. More to come...
If you havent donated yet, please do. Just smashed through £4k - please get me closer to 5!

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.

Jaws... of Borrowdale with @alex_staniforth Tough as:
- it's rained a lot so it's a bit nippy
-it was a bit currenty
- we were camping up and it rained a lot
- didnt sleep or eat properly
- didnt drink properly (was hungover)
Still training for a stupid big swim #soltosil
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.
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
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).
