It’s four years today since I was on top of the world, literally. I’m careful where I use the word luck, because to hold luck responsible for something isn’t always accurate and can take away from the effort involved.

Last week I headed to Salzburg to the famous Hangar 7 to attend a press launch revealing the route for the 2015 Red Bull X-Alps race. Known for being the toughest adventure race in the world, the race sees athletes cover a distance of over 1000km, by foot or by paraglider, from Salzburg to Monaco. […]
The sky was grey but the storm had passed, it was moving South and as luck would have it I had just flown North. Waiting at Sacramento airport I pondered what it was going to be like meeting ‘The Honza’. The Red Bull X-Alps in July 2015 will be the 39 year old’s 5th time […]
Known as the world’s toughest adventure race, held every other year since 2003, the Red Bull X-Alps has a simple concept – athletes must hike or fly across the Alps – from Salzburg to Monaco, a straight line distance of 1000km.

Last year I was part of the Wings of Kilimanjaro team; the largest group to ever summit the world’s tallest free standing mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro and Nepalese Pilot Sano Babu Sunuwar and his guide Matthew Lyimo successfully flew from the summit. The project raised over $600,000 for charities on the ground in Tanzania and one of […]
I’m recently back from an epic 10 week trip in South America. A journey through Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Brazil doing the first 3000miles on my BMW F800 GS Adventure! I was with a crew and together we were filming for an adventure travel series.. details to follow! Our schedule was very full. It was […]
It’s been just over a month since I departed the UK and hit the ground running in Buenos Aires on January 6th – which feels like a very long time ago. We’re moving at a fast pace and so far have filmed almost five episodes… I’m working on an adventure travel series and for now […]
What an amazing year 2013 has been and 2014 is set to be another incredible one! Looking back over the past 12 months it’s been quite a year… Things kicked off in January with Wings of Kilimanjaro, where I was proud to be part of the largest group ever to climb to the summit of […]
