Look at everything [Version 2] – Guest Blog: Rob Cousins
This is a version two of a double issue. Rob sent me two variants of a piece on holism and, given the subject, it seemed like the only option was to publish both! I read an article about hammers on Seth Godin’s site which sparked an email conversation with Rob on a subject that clearly…

I enjoyed following Julian Sayarer’s cycle around the world – This Is Not For Charity – and his wonderful writing from the comfort of my home last year. I was thrilled and disheartened in equal measure to first see him break the world record and then risk having his words and messages lost in the…

Life in the fast lane – Guest Blog: Alastair Humphreys
It gives me great pleasure to introduce today a guest blog from someone who, although he may not be aware, has been pivotal to me in many ways: Alastair Humphreys. I read Al’s blog all the time but I’ve also read his books and know that he has a wonderfully creative way with words. So,…

Guest Blog: Expedition Clayoquot – Forest Free-Running
