Eli Freilich explored the striking landscapes of Iceland raising awareness for FD-UK

In March, Eli went on an adventurous trip to Iceland. He had always dreamed about doing this and he knew it would be a really challenging trip, especially with a recent knee injury.

Eli camped solo in the snow in 1°c – 4°c, climbed across snowy mountains (with a tour group) and alone. At one point Eli needed to turn back because of the risk of avalanches. Eli describes the scenery as phenomenal, and he would recommend that if you can go, you should!

Eli achieved an amazing challenge (which he plans to repeat) although he is now home safe now, any sponsorship to this very important charity for this amazing feat would be really appreciated and gratefully received. If he stood in a t-shirt and slept in mountains full of snow or FD-UK, giving a few pounds from a warm home is surely easier !
