Sharing my love for adventure and travel around the world…
I’m a writer, engineer and avid photographer with an unquenchable thirst for travel and adventure.
I spend most of my time travelling, whether by bicycle, motorbike, in my van or on foot.
For my first big overland journey, I cycled 25,000 km from the UK to Cape Town. Since then I’ve pedalled down North and Central America and across Asia, pack-rafted in Nicaragua, bought and ridden a horse in Kyrgyzstan, and paddled a pirogue down the Niger River in Guinea. After a winter cycling in Siberia, I upgraded to a motorbike, returning to Africa and riding (40,000 km in a convoluted route) the length of it on my Yamaha XT225 Serow. The same motorbike has also taken me across Europe twice and just survived a summer exploring Iceland’s remote highland trails.
My focus in recent years has been exploring closer to home, criss-crossing the UK and Ireland on my motorbike and in my van, searching out fells, tarns, moors and highlands to wander on foot.
The knee injury that set me surely on this path of adventure and travel back in 2007 has come back to haunt me, so my hiking days are over, so – coming full circle – I’ve picked up the bicycle again and am rediscovering my love of pedal power and two wheels. Bikepacking journeys will soon be on the cards once the funds are replenished and cross-border travel eases. Bring on 2022
