    Rockies and lakes (2019, Mount Sarrail, Alberta)

    A campsite in a forest. Lakes. Mountains. Hiking boots. A fire pit. A close friend. The ingredients aren’t complicated. This is all you...

    Kilimanjaro (2008, Tanzania)

    There’s only one photo that captures some of the reality of our Kilimanjaro trek. Unlike all the others, it wasn’t posed for with big,...

    Cols of Morzine (2019, Morzine, French Alps)

    Sa Calobra (2018, Mallorca)

    A tuba should play at the top of Sa Calobra. A long, flat note like something from a Christopher Nolan film. As you crest the Colls dell...

    Two coasts, six bikes (2019, Cumbria & Yorkshire)

    We’re not even halfway to Whitby. We’re maybe a little over a quarter of the distance, on our first day of the trip. It’s been a long day...

    Morcuera and more... (2017, Sierra de Guadarrama)

    Tuscan hills in the saddle. (2016, Passo del Trebbio, Lucca)

    Magic carpets, hidden sleeves. (2016, Vallee de la Manche, Morzine)

    Riding through the storm. (2018, Land's End to John O Groats)
