As above – I have some pretty concrete aims for this year in the mountains and in the office. I’ll set out my intentions here and let’s see if I can complete them by the end of December 2023. I might not be the ultra athlete that Randolph Fiennes used to be but at least I can try to achieve some of my 2023 goals in monthly sections:

To complete 25 Grade One scrambles across England, Scotland and Wales

To log five days towards the Lowland Leader Training scheme

To finish the Fundamentals of Digital Marketing Course and at least one other online course (there’s a big list I’m deciding between)

To finish the West Yorkshire Way and publish one article on its existence (even better to get it published as a guidebook but let’s not get carried away with ourselves!)

To teach five days of navigation, scrambling and mountain hiking

Ready, set…
