I cannot understate how important being outdoors, and interacting with my environment – whether that be through running, riding, climbing or simply being outside – is to me. It goes beyond escapism and is a fundamental part of my life. I love where those pursuits have taken me – physically, to mountains, remote places and my local woods; but more importantly the friendships it has brought me, the mental and physical release it gives me. I run and ride to race, to play, to socialise, for solitude, to think, to not think.

Over the years, I started to share stories about what I love. Freelance writing has given me a different perspective on the places I visit and given new opportunities to visit places that I have only dreamt about. I now combine writing for publications like Singletrack Magazine, Cranked, Sidetracked and others with a “day job” and continue to make time to get outdoors, whether that be for a lunchtime run or a multi-day self-supported trip.
