    Mount Snowdon Completed

    0

    On 9th September 2017, supported by a team of 12, I successfully climbed to the top of Mount Snowdon, whilst wearing full stormtrooper armour! It certainly wasn’t easy though. Steep paths, rugged terrain, large rocks to clamber over, thick fog, near zero visibility, howling winds, …

    Never Mind The Midi-Chlorians…

    0

    Throughout the whole of 2014 I achieved what many said was either impossible, or highly inadvisable. I ran the best part of 1,000km dressed in an extremely heavy and restrictive costume, and raised both many smiles and many pounds along the way. As I’d entered …

    Way back in 2013 when I decided to compete in a large number of long distance races in fancy dress to raise money for Kidscape I asked my son, Jack, for his thoughts on a possible costume. It was his obsession with Star Wars which …
