Completing the ‘Tryfan horseshoe’ in Snowdonia, North Wales
In May 2018, the same weekend Prince Harry married Meghan Markle, I decided to enter the Snowdon half marathon and tick the ‘Tryfan Horseshoe’ off my adventure bucketlist.
If you’ve not heard of it, the Tryfan Horseshoe is a classic mountain walking route in Snowdonia National Park, North Wales, named after Tryfan, a famous mountain in the area. The horseshoe is a circular route of around 8 Km, with around 1000 metres of ascent that takes in several other mountains as well, including Glyder Fach, Glyder Fawr, and Y Garn.
London calling: The time I planned and coordinated a live TV stunt in central London, with speed boats and Bear Grylls!
In early 2015, I found myself immersed in an intriguing endeavour: planning and coordinating a live TV stunt with Bear Grylls and ITV studios.
It all began in early February when I received an email trail proposing an exciting concept to launch the new series of ‘Mission: Survive.’
The plan involved speeding up the Thames River in London with Bear, dropping him on a sandbank near ITV studios, and orchestrating a thrilling surprise as he climbed a rope and swung through the window, surprising Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford on the daytime TV show, ‘This Morning.’
It was far from an ordinary Friday morning, to say the least!
