Cross the UK is website offering advice, training and adventure to those interested in the outdoors. The site began as a simple blog post but recently Cross the UK developed a training arm to help facilitate high-quality first aid training for organisations and individuals.
Having worked in the outdoors for over 10 years with outdoor education, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and other outdoor schemes we have an extensive knowledge and experience in supporting people to achieve their potential in the hills, dales and mountains of the United Kingdom.

I was going to ask for some help to some each of us up in a few words but the first person I asked couldn’t do it with out using rude words. If you want to have a go feel free to leave a reply!
Mick
Hi, im Michaels mum, so i suppose i am most qualified to say a few words about him and i like to think of Jeff as another son of mine.
Michael has always strived to find challenges that stretch himself mentally and physically, he has the abililty to communicate on all levels, hence his appointment of assistant head at the ripe old age of 28 !! Im extremely proud of my son, he is a warm, funny, compassionate man, and in taking part in these challenges, his goal is to help those charities which have touched his heart through his lifes experiences.
Jeff ( Fat Rascal ) as he is warmly known to my family has been Michaels friend since they attended Richmond School together. He too is someone to be proud of and has been a huge part of our family, together they want to achieve this challenge to support a charity which is dear to their heart. i want to wish them all the best and hope that everyone will back them with donations to their chosen charity.
Good Luck and enjoy it 🙂
All the best, Good luck
