"Go and climb the mountains of life while you are young…" A few small things have happened this week to make me pause and take stock. It may be a good idea to do this every so often anyway. Pause, do a mental stock check of your life, reassess where you’re […]...

Frequently Asked Questions Some questions I get asked a lot. Here’s my attempt to answer them. I hope many will be answered on the Expedition FAQ or the Microadventure FAQ pages. What on earth is an ‘Adventurer’ anyway? – https://buff.ly/2w2qwDb How does an ‘Adventurer’ earn enough […]...

Expedition Planning Advice I receive lots of emails asking for advice about expeditions. The only really useful thing I ever feel able to offer is to say, “Just go!” If you don’t enjoy it you can quit, but you’ll never know unless you […]...

An interesting week It’s been an unusually (if reassuringly) busy week for me. I spoke at the TravelPlan awards on Monday, a reassuring reminder that big corporations are beginning to take cycling seriously for financial, health and environmental reasons. On Tuesday I spoke […]...

Free books! Why give them away? I have been asked a few times why I give my books away for free. For me there is no question about the benefits of doing this. I make little money from writing and am more focussed on the potential […]...
