    This is an oldie but a goodie (it’s had 30 million views on YouTube). From what I can tell, Danny MacAskill‘s since gone on to be quite a successful sponsored cyclist and made many more glitzier videos (see below) but it’s this one that I always come back to. Inspired is the word. Danny MacAskill’s Way Back…

    My book is called How to Get to the North Pole: and Other Iconic Adventures. It has seven chapters, each about a different iconic adventure, and each opening with a wonderful illustration by the talented Mr Jim Shannon and a few statistics such as the difficulty, cost and glory potential. The text is broken up with…

    We took our GoPro video camera with us on the cycle trip over Easter. We’ll be taking it around the world with us too. We won’t be attempting to make a proper documentary about our cycle, just capturing some video to upload to the website for fun. Key to this is ease. The filming is already dead…

    I ran a campaign throughout 2010 encouraging people to undertake a new “Everyday Adventure” each month. Simple stuff like seeing how far you could get on your lunch break, trying a novel route to work or heading for whatever you could see on the horizon. The aim was to ram home the idea that you…

     A few photographs from the second half of our recent cycle ride. This batch come from the stretch from Lancashire out to the east coast near Newcastle from where we followed Sustrans National Cycle Route 1 up to Edinburgh. We were testing out a system of uploading photos to Laura’s Nexus tablet computer and uploading…

    I had never heard of Kyrgyzstan or the Tien Shan mountains when a friend suggested we go climbing there, nor had I worn crampons or ever left Europe before. The thought of setting off for these huge peaks was both exciting and very daunting. But set off I did, with Ben Davitt and Thom Allen,…

    My good friend Thom and I completed a charity challenge to travel around the world in two months using eighty different methods of transport some years back. We took a video camera with us and shot some sketchy footage. Thom, who has now filmed some far better videos, put together this little teaser from the…

    One of my favourite ever adventures was conducted over a Bank Holiday weekend whilst living in Oman. I was enraptured by the Wahiba Sands (also called Sharqiya) the first time we visited – a beautiful, archetypal sand sea some 60 miles wide and 100 or so high. On the recommendation of a friend, we decided…

    Over the last five months I’ve been slowly releasing a series of short extracts from my book as blog posts on this site. It was partly to help promote the book and partly because I know that not everyone will buy a copy so I wanted to share some of the more useful sections. Anyway,…
