A little update from last week. I had a couple of weeks work down in South Wales and while I was there got to realise a childhood dream.

My teenage years were filled mostly with the viewing of one classic trials riding VHS. Infact the only one at the time: Tricks and Stunts. Most [...]

Just a quick note to confirm what is blatantly obvious about this website of late, there haven’t been any updates! The last month began with our incredible wedding and the three weeks of honeymoon which is certainly worth some write up in the coming weeks. However what with moving house on Friday and working [...]

There were a few iterations of perfection this weekend. Firstly this:

Kate and I went out in our boats for the final run before the honeymoon. Splitter weather for the first half of the run meant we could see deep into the water, count multiple jellyfish with every stroke [...]

Last weekend was spectacular.

In a hurry to update before the coming joys of this weekend I thought I should mention the fun we had last weekend.

Friday night my soon to be best man and I headed to a bunkhouse in Northumberland and promptly opened the beers. Through the evening the rest of [...]

Two new skeleton articles up in the Big Wall Series today! Thats a lot of words and they’ve come in the last two days!

The second is the first part of the writing down of [...]

There is always someone doing something better than you. A phrase to stay humble by.

Here are two perfect and inspiring examples of what you can get up to in this crazy world.

In other news, an amazing trials ride yesterday, off to London on Saturday for the sold out lecture, [...]

I’m sat here picking my scabs from last weekend. This, sprisingly, means that it went very well. Ratho on Thurs night was followed by 3 days of maximum effort in some wonderful weather and by the time it was all over I was completely exhausted.

In Ratho I got a chance to try out [...]

Just a quick update on a few things!

Firstly we’re back from Sardinia and it was a fantastic trip, if a touch short. Sunny sport climbing is definitely the right way to start the trad season! I’ll write a trip report and destination guide in the next week so keep an eye out.

Yesterday [...]

The BMC have done an excellent write up of our trip, obviously much better at condensing the details than I am! Have a look at it here.

Thanks to everyone who has been spreading the word about our video, it’s now over 6500 views – incredible!

Here is a slightly different type of blog post, pop it in the inspiration category.

Danny Mac is pretty incredible and at the same time I’m loving getting back on the bike now the weather is slightly better and getting some feel back, going to be a slow process.
