Andrew's 40th year challenge!

2025 is my 40th year on the planet and what better way to celebrate this than to make myself as uncomfortable as I possibly can as many times as possible. That is why from April, (after celebrations in March) I am completing a challenge at least every 6 weeks until the end of the year.
