Freelance writer on outdoor adventure, extreme sports and adventure travel
About Me
Hello, I’m a freelance writer who focuses on the outdoors and adventure. My work has appeared in magazines and newspapers around the world, including National Geographic UK, Sidetracked, The Guardian, The Great Outdoors, and Outside. I’ve interviewed globally known adventurers such as Reinhold Messner and Borge Ousland. My writing is sometimes mentioned in newspapers such as The Washington Post and The Globe and Mail. In my free time, I travel in the Arctic and far north, through winter treks and summer backpacking. I call the county of Leicestershire in the UK home and am available for assignments—just get in touch!
You can get to know me better on my About page, or just hit the Articles page if you want to get straight into my writing.

"Jeeze I hate this kind of article. As if every time you go for a walk in the countryside, you are hauling your ass up a 'king mountain. The outdoors is not the lone province of adventurers"
Guardian Reader

"The article I have been waiting for and one that needs sharing widely. The entire chasing of meaningless records has become a farce"

I recently came across a new independent print magazine that shares first-person adventure stories, emphasising the journey and experience rather than record-breaking feats or extreme challenges.
