It’s official, I’m a Dad!

It’s official, I’m a Dad!

Watch video, the birth of my very first baby   https://youtu.be/lMBFPMAn5cU   What an 8 hour rollercoaster adventure it was! You might remember nearing the end of my run across Canada, when I began shouting 'who's the Daddy?!' Well, it's finally come true....

Support Local, Eat Pie ?????

Support Local, Eat Pie ?????

“Action Woman, she’s ready for anything! Ready to go base jumping, ready to get a sausage roll!” Anna declared with serious enthusiasm right before we were about to leave for a little adventure to Gloucester Services. An adventure to a service station you say? Yes!...

Pregnancy Test ?

Pregnancy Test ?

“I'm not sure I trust these tests, they were the cheapest ones I could buy” Anna said as she had the pregnancy stick in her hand. She continued, “You wanna watch me dunk this in wee?” “Alright, dunk it in” I replied. Anna was now doing our very first pregnancy test...

How to keep sane in lockdown

How to keep sane in lockdown

Here's a vlog with me and my partner in crime, Anna McNuff, doing a little adventure out of the house to keep sane from lockdown. As you can imagine, Anna and I as adventurers aren’t the best types for staying indoors and we need to be ‘let off the lead’ to go for a...

Climb your local quarry, stay in the moment

Climb your local quarry, stay in the moment

With the corona virus floating around, getting my daily movement in has definitely changed. Normally I’ll go for a big run around a hill, or a cycle around some country lanes. It’s the kind of movement where you just ‘let your brain go free’. What I mean by that, it’s...

We love our NHS

We love our NHS

Over the years, let’s be honest, the NHS has taken some flack. But right now with the corona virus, it’s safe to say that they’re putting their lives at risk to support us in the time of need. And it genuinely fills my heart with pride and brings a tear to my eye. As...

Beat the Coronavirus, go be an Adventurer!

Beat the Coronavirus, go be an Adventurer!

Now, I don’t want to get all 'doctor' on you. In fact, what I’m about to share with you I’d imagine the doctor wouldn’t prescribe. Let’s be honest, they mostly want to give us medication ‘that will fix it’. I think it’s fair to say that the coronavirus isn’t fixable,...

Final day, Anna’s barefoot Britain run

Final day, Anna’s barefoot Britain run

'Achieve big, stay grounded' Rather than reel off those words like a cheesy New Years resolution (it’s easy too write words), I’d like you to watch a vlog I made recently and actually re-live the final day of my partner in crime, Anna McNuff’s, barefoot Britain...

Adventureman Meets Royalty

Adventureman Meets Royalty

I was recently invited to go and be a guest speaker at St James’ Palace, and present some special awards for the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme to some young people (I do daft adventures and all that motivational speaking malarkey), so it made sense to be invited, but...

Guess what, Canada? I'M COMING BAAAACKKKK. And... I have a favour to ask. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asZ2lbepZMg&t=2s Firstly, though, I should explain why I'm coming back if you didn't quite get the full story from the recent CP24 Breakfast Show interview above....

BiG Awards: Ambassador of the Year

BiG Awards: Ambassador of the Year

Having been shortlisted for the Believe in Gloucester Awards: Ambassador of the Year - I felt incredibly honoured, and very proud - but to of been awarded with this accolade, well, its simply overwhelming. And a little mad I might add, as I'm not even sure what an...

Adventureman is becoming real…

Adventureman is becoming real…

As many of you know, I’ve been working on a few things but some pieces of the puzzle needed putting together before I do what I do - and that's be adventureman on adventures! So, what are these two puzzle pieces? Well, one was my website (that you're on!) which I...

Taking part in the Fishermans Friend – Strongman Run

Taking part in the Fishermans Friend – Strongman Run

Being selected to tackle the Fisherman's Friend, Strongman Run in Germany (last weekend) was very special, but even more special was the experience itself. After the run across Canada, I've felt kind of flat, and thought that I wasn't ready to hit the road again....

Cycling Bangkok to Gloucester
