A few years after my accident, I had slowly eased back into climbing and mountaineering, mountain biking, skiing, I started jogging again, and I’ve even done some slack lining again! But there was one part of my life that I hadn’t got back, one part that was still missing: expeditions. 7 years after my accident, I was fit enough and capable enough to do another big expedition, but I needed a reason, a purpose, to do one. And then I met Darren and Ed, and I found a purpose. Together we hatched a plan to ski across Iceland’s Vatnajokull, the largest Icecap in Europe. The catch, of course, was that all three of us have spinal cord injuries. I’m partial paraplegic, Ed is a partial quadriplegic, and Darren is a complete paraplegic, meaning that between us we have 4 fully functioning limbs, 6 partially functioning limbs and 2 non-functioning limbs!
