Travelling back from an incredible Archery Adventure in Germany’s Black Forest

Exhausted but smiling, reminded exactly why I fell in love with archery & adventure in the first place.

Now to go through the mountain of footage… this one’s going to be special. ❤️

I’m training for something…
Just not quite sure what it is yet? 🥾⛰️🌲

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been trying to convince the internet that I’m not a dick…
But hey, revenge is a dish best served cold (and wet).
Here’s a little clip from our 11-mile paddle boarding adventure down the River Avon this weekend.

Thank you, it was actually only supposed to be 9 km but I lost the trail… twice 😅

Lost a close friend this year, and it changed everything. I’ve dropped nearly 13kg, started hiking daily, and found real purpose again. Did 12.5km solo yesterday, through trails we used to walk together. Just me, the trees, and the trail. 🌲🥾 #TheLongPath #Hiking

Nothing fills me with more unhinged rage as I get older than missing a friend’s call by 3 seconds, calling them back immediately… and they don’t answer. WHERE DID YOU GO?? Did you evaporate? Join the witness protection program?

Where can I get one? 😍

Lit the ceremonial bonfire in honour of one of my oldest and dearest friends. A life far too short, but full of fire, laughter, and love.
You’ve left a hole in my heart that’ll never be filled.
I miss you, Matt.
See you in Valhalla, brother. 🖤🔥

Had a great dad moment the other day while out hiking with my kid, got to explain what this means. Do you know? #DadLife

If a product is described to me as the “viral something” I’m almost certain it’s not something I’ll be interested in….

Told my wife it was for the bedroom…
Just didn’t want to get in trouble for buying more Paddelboarding stuff 😅

Just realised I’m now the same age Bill Bryson was when he walked the Appalachian Trail.

Guess you’re never too old to do something truly stupid in the name of adventure.

Motorbike? Paddleboard? Hike? Tattoo? Who knows.
My wife will definitely hate it 😅

“Never forget why you picked up the bow in the first place”

Living the dream. Though, if I’m honest, the dream feels suspiciously like mild confusion with good lighting… Send it!

Thank you @chrisfrosin still one of the best photo shoots I’ve ever been on

Stop blaming yourself for your failures!

Spring is in the air! There’s a unique peace in the woods with a bow in hand. It’s a moment for clarity, where you can ponder big thoughts—like how your bones are wet, and your skeleton is moist! It’s overwhelming!

I know, I know—a precision-machined lump of aluminum isn’t exactly ‘trad’… but the Striker RK1 has a soul, I swear! Does that make me a heretic? Will the Trad Illuminati revoke my membership? Probably. But traditional archery is a state of mind. #TraditionalArchery #InstinctiveArchery #TradBow

Diving deep into some wild mysteries for the #TradTownPodcast relaunch—& the bizarre case of the Ericsson twins has me hooked. Twin telepathy? Shared psychosis? Something stranger? Stay tuned. #MysteryPodcast #UnsolvedMysteries #WeirdHistory #TrueCrimeCommunity #MindBending
