Francis' New Book Will Be Released Soon!

As you probably know Francis has been writing his new book (title to be released soon too) about his experiences. He has written it to let people know about his past and to share his experiences with a wider audience. The book will be sold to raise money for his next expedition (destination to be decided) and half of the profit made will go the The Royal London Hospital School. Francis plans to launch his book at a social evening in late August/September. This evening will be a chance for Francis to formally thank people that have supported him.

National 3 Peaks

After months of planning and training, Francis and 3 others attempted to complete the National 3 Peaks. The idea was to climb Ben Nevis, Scaffel Pike and Snowdon in 24 Hours. With a team of 6 all together (4 climbers and 2 drivers) he completed the challenge in just over 25 hours. The weather was not good (unsurprisingly) and this had an affect on his time. They managed to raise £1,600 for the RoyalLondonHospital and HospitalSchool. Thank you very much to Paul, Geoff, Dom, Sonny, Kate (Francis' mum) and all those who sponsored!!
