This was always going to be a hard blog to write. For me there’s a fine line with social media about how much I’m happy with sharing and whilst I love sharing the good stuff I’ve never been that comfortable with sharing the not so good stuff. But I feel like I’m living a bit […]
She’s here! Kit Elspeth was born at 9.04pm on 03.11.18 weighing 1550g Exactly a week after my waters broke I was in labour. Several people had told me if I could keep the baby in for a week after my waters had broken then there was a good chance I could keep her in for […]
On Saturday evening, the 27th October, my waters broke. The terror I felt was indescribable. “Not now, you’re not meant to come now, I’m only 31wks, this isn’t right, you can’t come, you’re not ready, this can’t be happening, no, no, no”.

Reaching 24 weeks pregnant was a huge mile stone!! Add to that seeing the consultant recently and having good news was the best feeling in the world. My previous blog, we’re having a baby, will bring you fully up to date with what’s been going on and why there’s a few issues. In a nut […]

Unfortunately we haven’t met face to face…” Matt continued by telling about some of his projects and […]
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 […]
Twelve years ago resting on the side of a ski piste in Tignes, France, we were looking across the valley to the largest peak on the horizon. “That’s Sassiere, you can climb that” announced my friend Jason and I thought that seemed like a cool thing to do and made a mental note that one […]
One of the things I absolutely love to do is combine my passions into one big adventure. So I’m about to do just that! Over the next few days I’ll be making my way to the Aosta Valley in Italy on my BMW F800GS, staying with friends on the way and then climbing Monte Rosa […]
It feels like Christmas! Throughout the entire Go Trek we’ve experienced generosity in every form from family, friends and strangers but I think the start of week six has been a record for wonderful gifts.
