Always up for another adventure be it trekking coastal cliff-lines, scaling jagged mountain slopes, or exploring the deepest darkest forests, Guy’s passion for the outdoors has been unbridled ever since his first trip to Scotland’s highlands as a grumpy, acne-ridden fifteen year old. Getting on his bike is another huge passion. So long as there isn’t a gaping rip in his back tyre, Guy spends a lot of time on two wheels being chased by runaway dogs, and getting yelled at by the elderly for giving them a fright despite politely asking them to watch out!

“When I say ‘tough’, you say ‘mudder’. Tough!” “Mudder!” “Tough!” “Mudder!” The MC bellowed into the mic like a drill sergeant as my brother and I plus five-hundred-and-ninety-eight other ‘Mudders’ fizzed like a stock of dynamite in readiness for  the start. We recited a pledge and the countdown to 9:40am started, Journey’s Eye of the [...]

What’s your idea of something fun to do? Going to the movies, eating out in London with friends, partying? Mine’s all of those plus something a little different. I’ve always had this ‘demolition man’ side to me with a childhood love of smashing and breaking things – windows, toy cars, and trashing my sister’s perfectly arranged [...]

Train delays go hand in hand with disappointment, impatience and flared tempers. Organisation fizzes into chaos as waiting passengers are suddenly pitted against the clock.

“Let’s stop here and eat”, Steve panted as we trudged through the gate of a Linton churchyard like the soldiers from Owen’s ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’. I was a mountain sloughing off an avalanche as I dropped my pack and collapsed onto the dandelion-seed-ridden grass. It was to be our final lunch break. Within the [...]
