My 'outdoors blog' centres around long distance adventures. In the past two years I have been lucky enough to hike nearly 7000 miles across some of the most beautiful and challenging mountains within the USA. see my website profile

This has been an amazing and rewarding experience in so many ways. Not just an extended trip involving pretty scenery, it has been a journey of self discovery requiring massive commitment and dedication.

I tend to blog about related issues to my journeys and try to include other interesting stuff to keep you amused. Whilst serious on issues like the preservation of the environment, fitness training and mountain safety I like to have a joke along the way too. Lookout for my deadpan humour videos.

In the near future I hope to release my first book and video and also am planning a further adventure in 2010. Watch this space

Thanks for looking and a big thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way.
