[video width="615" height="410" id="41005987" type="vimeo"] Laura and I were given a GoPro Hero video camera for Christmas (thanks Rob!) and, after a few test runs, we took it to Patagonia to film. For those not familiar, it is a tiny box of a camera about the size of a large stack of credit cards. It comes in a waterproof and shock-resistant case with lots of different attachments so you can stick it on yo ...

I honestly think this might be the best video I've ever seen... THE MAN WHO LIVED ON HIS BIKE from Guillaume Blanchet on Vimeo. ...

Laura and I are swimming the length of the River ThamesAnd we'd like to take you on a short journey. Come on in!We started at the source of the river. The first 14 miles were too shallow to swim so we ran.Once the water started flowing properly though, we jumped right in.We wear wetsuits most of the time because I get cold being in the river for so long at a time.My friends Nick and Vicky from Your Web Medi ...

Below are some articles from other people’s websites that I have enjoyed reading over the last month and think that you might too. They tend to be from blogs about expeditions, adventures, life and philosophy. I got rid of the voting feature because no one was using it. If you miss it then let me know in the comments section below otherwise I'll save myself the bother!  1. Look At Syria -Tom's Bike Trip Nic ...

An extra blog post this week to let you know about a great competition aimed at getting more people outside having adventures. And before you switch off, they're supposed to start and finish at your front door and needn't last more than 24 hours so I think that counts most people in. I quote the following from Al Humphreys' website (and there are some great videos below to keep you scrolling): The Rules: 1. ...

Here's a little video that my friend Nick from Your Web Media put together of us swimming down the Thames the other weekend. Originally I hadn't written anything else here but my website went funny when it tried to include the video below in the summary text so I've added this pointless sentence. Cheers! Tim.   ...

I was interviewed for a Offbeat London a few months ago about my Around the World in 80 Ways trip and they put together this wonderful slideshow. Some of the facts are a little fuzzy but that shouldn't get in the way of a good story. [Video above not displaying? Watch here instead] You can read the interview here. ...

I keep having to pinch myself over here in Oman as a reminder that I am not on holiday and that these amazing places I visit are done so on my weekend, just a few hours' drive from Muscat. One of the highlights of my week is downloading the photos from the previous weekend for a slideshow of instant memories. I'd like to share one of them with you from my first trip to the desert. Specifically, the Sharqiya ...

I applied recently for a job which required me to provide samples of my best photography. I take photographs all the time and populate this blog with the ones I enjoy most but I've never given much thought to which ones are the "best". Perhaps that's why I didn't get the job. Anyway, I thought I'd share with you the eight images that I selected (with help from my friend Dave). Scroll down or view a slidesho ...

This is the BBC News piece featuring Laura and I on our final Tube run. Apologies for the awful quality. ...

Laura and I completed our attempt to run the length of every Tube line in London last night.Myself as Napoleon and Laura as a Banker, we ran between Waterloo and Bank with a throng of British Lung Foundation supporters and friends dressed variously as Shepherd's Bush, High Barnet, Angel and Kew Gardens.I'll write more about our experiences in the near future but, in the meantime, I thought I'd let you know ...

At the top of each and every post on this website is a photograph. The vast majority of them come from my back catalogue of holiday snaps (for most of the remainder, I'll thank Dave Tett). I enjoy taking pictures but I've no great skill at it and I'm still using a simple digital camera that I bought in 2005. As the weeks go by, I dig deeper and deeper into my archives for suitable images. Maybe I'll run out ...
