4 day bank holiday weekends coupled with sunshine are a thing to behold in the UK. Whilst the beers gardens nationwide were packed, I opted for seclusion and adventuring on the Isle of Arran. Spring and autumn are the shoulder seasons, bringing the best of the summer months, but without the continued heat intensity. Spring…
I’ve finished my dissertation! Those long coffee-fuelled days and sleepless nights are at an end. The level of stress is none existent and I find myself with so many free hours in the day – the question is, what to do now I’ve finished my dissertation?! Pretty simple really, get back to living the life…
Is it worth it? Very broad and thought provoking question Callum! I kinda felt the need to write this, given the situation I’ve found myself in these last few weeks. January has really seen me lacking in motivation & my usual mojo. I can’t lie, I’m really feeling the pressure of my final year at…
First of all, I’d like to wish you all a very happy new year! Hope you all had a wonderful festive period & heres to another year filled with health, prosperity, travel & adventure! So you may have seen a couple of photos, of me running up hills at all hours over the last few…
Summer is certainly drawing to close here in the UK, the nights are drawing in & changing seasons begins. It’s fair to say summer 2018 has been one to remember, we’ve had the best weather I can remember for years & made memories to last a lifetime. After a summer of enjoying life without a…

Over the last few weeks I’ve gotten myself back into cycling to work, this new found love of road cycling came about when on a chilled-out break down in Cornwall. Of the 5 days we spent living the simple beach lifestyle, we moved the van once – cycling everywhere; to the beach, to the town,…
A micro-adventure is one that is short, simple, local and cheap; it is the concept of maximising the time given to you & fitting as much adventure into it as possible! Training, or exam revision avoidance… (training sounds slightly more productive!) has been my micro-adventure of choice over the last few weeks – where time…
New beginnings… I’ve called this blog as such because of the strange feeling I got on Friday morning, I simply woke up feeling brilliant, almost as good as new. I can’t really put my finger on whether I am actually fixed yet, or if it was just simply my mind telling my body, you need an adventure,…
Its nearly 3 weeks to the day since I arrived back home in the UK from my absolutely epic trip to New Zealand & whilst its nice to have all the comforts of home i.e. a shower (I forgot what one of those was for a month!) & a bed too… I’m missing that dirtbag…
