I am a keen skier and have been skiing now for over 20 years and manage to squeeze in a couple of trips a year. I also love being up in the mountains and attacking the slopes, both on and off-piste. My passion for being in the mountains does not stop at skiing. I enjoy trekking in the Lakes and North Wales, but set out to conquer Mont Blanc with some friends in August. Unfortunately, severe storms prevented us from making our attempt, so we crossed into Italy and successfully summited another 4000m peak, Gran Paradiso. It’s on occasions like these when my Nite MX10 watch comes into its own. The fact that it is good enough for our British Forces was enough for me and it’s more than capable of handling anything I can throw at it. The illumination is a god send, especially when we had to wake at 4am to begin our final ascent to the summit of Gran Paradiso. The climb was a fantastic experience and I managed to raise over £1700 for Christie's Cancer Hospital in Manchester.
