Over three months ago The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race ended and since then I have been adjusting back to life on land. First there was my Mums wedding to attend and a holiday in Spain, this was followed by a trip to the Edinburgh Festival for four days where I met up with Mission Performance crew, Claire Carroll, Alan Sheppard and his wife Prue who had come over from Australia. I then headed back to The Mount School in York to give a talk on my ultimate gap year and maybe inspire others to challenge themselves. After that onto the Southampton boat show for ten days to work for Clipper Ventures, showing visitors round the PSP Logistics boat and talking about my experiences during the race.
Now I have now been at the University of Warwick for a month where I am studying History of Art (along with doing some dinghy sailing and rowing), so life is very good.
Last Wednesday I went up to London where I met up with Mike Gross and Rob Ford from Mission Performance and the following day went on to receive my Duke of Edinburgh Gold award at St James's Palace and I even had the chance to talk to Prince Philip!
