This blog has been a long time coming and for that, I can only apologise. I naively thought that a return to the real world without the same demands of training and fundraising, would mean more free time. How wrong I was!

My time in Chamonix could have got off to a better start. I was unaware of my dependence on my phone until the moment I left it on the plane seat, my reliance soon becoming painfully clear. Hotel details, navigation, pin numbers, email passwords, AirBnB address, camera-my entire life was on that device.
