I have been fortunate over the years to have enjoyed some exciting adventures.

There are plenty more to come. Click on the images to navigate to my different journeys.

  • Microadventures

    A microadventure is an adventure that is short, simple, local, cheap – yet still fun, exciting, challenging, refreshing and rewarding.

  • On Foot through India

    The river Kaveri is one of the 5 great holy rivers of India, revered by pilgrims for centuries. From its source amongst the coffee and cardamon plantations in the cool hills of the Western Ghats, the river flows 500 miles across southern India towards the hot plains of Tamil Nadu and the Bay of Bengal.

  • Crossing Iceland

    A story of a crossing of Iceland, unsupported, by foot and inflatable packraft.

  • Arctic Photography

    I spent six weeks in the Canadian Arctic on an Ice Base on the frozen Arctic Ocean at 78 degrees north (at the spot often referred to in polar races as ‘The North Pole’, though in fact it was the 1996 location of the magnetic North Pole).

A microadventure is an adventure that is short, simple, local, cheap – yet still fun, exciting, challenging, refreshing and rewarding.

As the world’s population becomes increasingly urbanised, busy, and stuck in front of a screen, microadventures offer a realistic escape to wilderness, simplicity and the great outdoors, without the need to ski to the South Pole or go live in a cabin in Patagonia. The appeal of microadventures is that they make adventure accessible to people who may have very little outdoor experience.

  • A Rafting Microadventure

    Tom and I paid homage to Millican Dalton by sleeping in the cave he used to live in, building a raft of our own and paddling it down the River Derwent.

  • A Bicycle Challenge

    This is the Fred Whitton Challenge. It’™s not on Twitter and it’™s not branded as, Xtreme, Tough, Epic, Ultimate or Awesome, though it probably is some of those things.

  • A Journey On The Tube

    I’ve spent a lot of time, too much time, squashed in the London Underground and wishing I was doing something like this instead.

  • Grab a Map, Close your Eyes, Point, Go

    I wanted to explode some excuses with my year of microadventure. Here’s a few of them...
