I took it shortly after we were released from the first Covid lockdown. I just felt it was a scene with a bit of optimism and hope to it.

With friends from work on the summit of Scafell Pike in the Lake District, June 2019. This was during the National Three Peaks Challenge, where we climbed the highest mountain in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike) and Wales (Snowdon) within 24 hours. It was gruelling but we raised a decent amount of money for charity.

The shield is the Joseph Whitaker School again Google. As for the motto meaning, again from Google the et fides can mean "faith, loyalty, strength, integrity and truth," all atributes that you would need to achieve what you did.

Well done that man. "Joe Whit" is indeed the school where we all work.
