Since coming out of hospital with Kit, last December, I’ve been keen to ‘get back on it’. To me ‘getting back on it’ meant doing some sport, forming some kind of routine and being slightly organised. After months of bedrest and a couple of months not leaving Kit’s bedside in NICU even the smallest amount […]
Some of you may already know about the Knickers Philosophy, “If your knickers are right, then your day goes right.” Background When I first began mountaineering I missed the bit about bring 4 pairs of knickers on a month-long expedition.

Back in July I headed down to South Wales to join the Off Road Skills team to do my Level One Off Road Training. It was a brilliant couple of days, made a huge difference to my off road riding, increased my confidence and basically left me wanting more… The Brecon Beacons Adventure was the […]

I’ve spent a few years wondering about a particular type of project […]
It was a total pleasure riding the BMW F800GS over the Petit St Bernard Pass from France to Italy into the Aosta Valley. La Thuile, the first village you come to is particularly lovely in the summer. Arriving in Couymayeur soon after marked the end of my journey on the bike and the start of […]
