@henrywinter Any project, be it in terms of football, community and social development, or based on corporate ambitions, which does not give its actors and participants a sence of ownership is doomed to fail. Profit may hide failings for a period, but ultimately it will otherwise fail!

To celebrate International Ranger Day our group of climbers, including a number of Explorer Club members, visited The Lioness Team in Amboseli, Kenya.

We started the Africa Golf Program 5 years ago, in partnership with Rose Naliaka. COVID brought our ambitions to a halt.

We have rebooted the program. This morning, 20 girls and boys from Kibera informal settlement walked onto a golf course for the very first time

Why should explorers and climbers always be seen as coming from far away?

@FA_PGMOL is unfit for purpose. @premierleague and @fa, how many Howard Webb excuses must @OfficialBHAFC and #bhafc fans endure this season? The #VAR and overall refereeing performance at #TOTBRI #TOTBHA was pathetic and an insult to the game we all love.

[Tim Challen @TChallenKI]

Interesting data presented to The Big Climb Nepal by stakeholders in Namche Bazaar. It shows that there are considerably more trekkers and climbers who check into Namche Bazaar than check out... Where did they all go?

Our chief guide for The Big Climb Nepal is Norbu Sherpa. He knows the mountain well. He has stood on its summit 7 times, and climbed many 8,000m+ peaks. Humble, brave, and kind, I recommend you watch this documentary featuring Norbu - https://t.co/f3v7lR7HLO
