Walking Across Patagonia Video
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…

A Thames Swimming Story
Laura and I are swimming the length of the River Thames And 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.…

Syria, London, Cape Town – Six of the Best, August 2011
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…

Microadventure Competition
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…

A Day in the Desert – Sharqiya Sands in Pictures
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…

‘Running the Tube’ on TV, midday tomorrow
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…

Have you got some photos for my blog?
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…
