    As a young adventurer, it’s easy to become despondent in the belief that “everything has been done” and that there is nowhere left to explore. At least, that is, without doing something so extreme as to require decades of experience or being extremely dangerous. My friend Nancy and I set about planning our expedition with…

    That’s right, the video you just watched shows two people hanging upside down trying to cook an omelette. I met Reg at a BSES training weekend in the Peak District last month. We were on site at an outdoors centre and he asked if we were able to use the high ropes course. Moments later…

    It’s been a hectic few days working several different projects as well as trying to prepare for my trip to Russia next week (details to follow!) but this little idea provided some much needed distraction when I found it… Ever fancied climbing Everest? How about abseiling off the top? Well, that’s just what my friends…

    Fancy an adventure but a bit low on pennies? The Spam Challenge is a feature in Adventure Travel magazine which sets your resources for a weekend of fun at £70 and a tin of pork. I’ve just finished a return cycle trip to Amsterdam with just such a tinned product. We went a little over…

    I’ve made the decision to pull out of the North Pole 2010 expedition. I think it’s the right one. We had a great training trip in Svalbard earlier in the month but something wasn’t quite right. And, with something so monumental as walking to the Geographic North Pole, I think everything would have to be…

    I was hosted this weekend by my good friend Rob Cousins who features on these pages under the almighty Arch-to-Arc Triathlon. He’s always an inspiration, not just because of the amazing things he puts his body through (photo above taken moments before starting a non-stop 145 mile foot race) but also because of his approach…

    I had a very good meeting yesterday with Rosie Stancer under a bright blue sky in Green Park. Rosie had kindly agreed to meet me and my colleague Jamie to talk about our big idea. It was great to meet such a big personality from the polar world and better still to discover that she…

    Today is the first day of the rest of my life. And there lies the melodramatic start to my blog. It’s 4pm on a Wednesday afternoon and I am typing from the spare room of my parents’ house. That’s significant for three reasons: 1. I’m not at work (I recently left my job) 2. I’m…
