Wild, remote and absolutely breathtaking—walking the Sutherland Trail was an adventure like no other. 🏔️🌿 With barely a soul in sight, this hidden gem of the Scottish Highlands was a total delight. 🌊✨ - adventuring with @ZOLEOinc

630 miles and approx 87 pasties later… I conquered the South West Coast Path! 🥾🌊🎉. Along the way, I:.🏕️ Considered moving into a coastal cave (prime sea views, no WiFi). 🐍 Nearly pitched my tent in an adder sanctuary.🦆 Fought seagulls for my lunch every day.@ZOLEOinc

100 miles of rolling hills, chalky trails and epic views later… the South Downs Way was in the bag! 🌿⛰️ Back in 2023, from Winchester to Eastbourne, this trail delivered golden sunsets, windswept ridges, and just the right amount of pub/cafe stops 🍻🚶♂️

To PLB or not to PLB? In my view, my @ZOLEOinc device is great for peace of mind when in the mountains.

Last summer I walked the 1,014km South West Coast Path in 26 days with 22 wild camps - probably my fave ever walk in the UK! @ZOLEOinc

A real pleasure to be part of this excellent podcast and to talk about my love of peak-bagging and long-distance hiking. Hopefully worth a listen.
Out now! CS118 - Mountain Man @jamesmforrest talks about his record-breaking round of the 446 Nuttalls and 214 Wainwrights. Escaping the nine-to-five. The highs and lows of an epic walk. Is 'adventure' a ruse to escape the everyday? Pic: @inov_8

New PB of 1:26:38 in the epic @RunThroughUK Heaton Park half marathon in Manchester last weekend. Not bad for a 40yr old 🥳

Proposed restrictions on holiday rentals could transform life in the National Park – but is it too late to solve overtourism?

Yay, I finished the 8-day Tell Trail in Switzerland! And the final day - an ascent of Brienzer Rothorn - was pretty special 🇨🇭❤️🏔

Today we made it to the geographical centre of Switzerland at Alggialp. The centre is marked by a triangular monument, surrounded by a wall in the shape of Switzerland. Only 1 more day left on Tell Trail. #InLOVEwithSWITZERLAND
