55+ professional idiot. I find tough events, train just enough, and usually DNF on the first go.
Patience (and an amazing wife) are my secret weapons.
Double Brutal finisher. Rat Race Test Pilot. Spine Race wannabe.
Back from another adventure. Running, Kayaking and MTB across the Maltese Islands. #embracechallenge #resetlimits #seekadventure

Back from an expedition following the Gold Rush trail in the Yukon. Trekking along the Chilkoot Trail, cyling on the Klondike Highway, with a pit stop at Braeburn Lodge. And 6 days & 400km on the Yukon River in a canoe heading to Dawson City.

Beautiful sunrise walk over the cliffs. Testing kit for next weeks adventure. Didn’t see a soul just me and the morning. Check out the Royal Golden Guernsey I met along the way #walk #adventureloading #sunrise

Been cooking most days for a year, first time posting one.
Inspired by the SWYD Dirty Vegan ethos: simple, plant-based, no fuss.
pasta, pesto, mushrooms, cherry toms, spring onions, spinach, and some self-roasted peppers.
Not fancy. Just fuel

Out for a run at the weekend, when I spotted a couple of people launching RC cars of a DIY ramp. #randomstuff #running #run

A little quiet the past few weeks as I've been working on an idea. www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
No idea how to turn it into a proper race format but thought I'd put it out there for people to see.

Over to another island today for the Sark 10. Stunning 10 mile course albeit a tad lumpy! Weather was hot but a really enjoyable course and relaxed vibe bbq and beer waiting at the finish line. Worth a visit! #sark #sark10 #run #trailrunning #running #outdooradventure

Beautiful morning for a recovery run. 40 mins Zone 1. Through the woods, past ancient and not so ancient monuments. Along the coast and into the shop to pick up breakfast stuff. #running #run #guernsey

5 miles on the road, quick shoe change. 8 miles over the cliffs, another shoe change. 6 miles on the road back home. #run #trailrunning #running #guernsey

Yesterday was GU36 day, my local ultra. It truly is a beautiful course and the navigational notes are ‘keep the sea on your left’. Decided last week I didn’t have the legs so went for a run to support the people who were Only took one pic of some cows. #trailrunning #ultrarun #run #guernsey

Bitter sweet over the cliffs today. The sweet - 10 miles with no issues with hip. The bitter is - realised I hadn’t got another 20 miles in my legs for next week’s event. Always was touch and go but bigger fish to fry #run #running #trailrunning #outdoor #guernsey

Todays tempo run took me to another nature trail and around lanes I haven't been down for a while. Still windy along the coast but backing off a bit. Nice to go different places around the rock. Views are still pretty good #run #running #outdoor #guernsey

Sometimes its just too windy to enjoy a coastal run, fortunately we have a network of roads called Ruette Tranquille (the lanes) where pedestrains take priority, a detour for a loop round a nature reserve then back on the lanes. #runnning #run #outdoor #guernsey

Beautiful day on the rock. Slight detour on my run home so I could hug the coast for a bit longer. Guernsey in the sun is stunning #run #running #runcommute #outdoor #guernsey #islandlife

A cheeky weekend break to a smaller rock. A nice little bimble around Herm. #hike #outdoors #hermisland

One of those days where things just didn’t fell ‘right’. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and crack on. Views from a place known locally as The Blue Mountains #run #running #runcommute #outdoor #guernsey

The day started a bit wet and grey but the sun came out for my lunch run. Hate running on these busy roads! #run #running #outdoor #guernsey

Up and out early this morning for a run to & round the reservoir then a decision had to be made. Happy Easter. #run #running #trailrunning #outdoor #guernsey. (I went That Way)

Zone 2 1/2 marathon down the middle then around the North of the rock. Took longer than I anticipated as I kept stopping to talk to people I hadn't seen for a while. The island tends to hibernate between Nov & March. (Pics: Vale Casle, Herm & Jethou) #running #run #outdoor #guernsey #catchups

Another beautiful day on the rock. Hill Repeats were the order of the day. 12 x 10 sec. 15% Gradient. Working my way back into it. #running #run #training #outdoor #guensey

Early morning run into work. Then a coffee on the balcony. #run #running #runcommute

After so confidently declaring I was back, I woke up the next day with a cold! Another week off and a week of recovery runs, but I'm back again! Beautiful 10miler along the coast before going to cheer on the local marathon runners. #running #run #guernsey #marathon

Typical, just get back after injury then catch a cold which wipes me out. Oh well start again next week
