I have confession to make. The kayaking video I posted last week was actually my second attempt at trying to execute the ‘camping on an island’ plan. On this first outing I was totally unprepared, the winds were too high and I hadn’t worked out in advance where on earth I was aiming to camp.
All in all it was a bit of a failure, but after reviewing the footage I realised that it wou...

At the very end of 2022, the south west of England experienced some extremely heavy rainfall. This resulted in a large section of the Somerset Levels flooding, turning what is ordinarily farmland, into a massive reservoir.
Making the most of this change in the landscape, I loaded up a kayak with some camping equipment and headed off across the water. My aim: find a small island upon which...

With heavy flooding recently covering large sections of the Somerset Levels, I hatched a plan to head down there with a kayak, head off across the water and hopefully find somewhere suitable to camp for the night.
The full video from this outing is currently in the works and will be will you shortly.

At the end of last year I decided to load some gear onto my new touring bike and head off on a short overnighter in my home county of Somerset. The only difference with this wild camp, compared to other I've done in the past, was that I didn't pack a tent...
Happy new year everyone!
Hello! I'm currently working on the Youtube thumbnail for the new video and would love to get your input. Which one would you click on? Top or bottom?
Thank you :)

Last week I had the pleasure of heading out on a solo wild camp up in the Yorkshire dales. The full video from this trip is currently in the works and will be out shortly, but for now I wanted to share with you one of the night timelapses I captured.

Hello everyone, Episode 1 of the Georgian tandem series will be dropping here on Patreon tomorrow! And I'm very excited to share it with you!
I also wanted to give you a heads up that I plan to stop the 'supporter Patreon read' at the end of the videos, from the middle of August (Georgian Ep.2 will be the final read). I've had a lot of fun doing it over the last 2 years, but I feel like i...

Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well. Firstly I just wanted to make a quick post to say that progress on the new Georgian tandem series is chugging along. As usual these timeline's are becoming far too messy, but I'm really happy with how the videos are shaping up. I'm reluctant to even give a rough timeframe of when this stuff will be released, but I will say that there's a rough cut of ...

Synopsis:
‘The Curiosity of Edward Pratt’ is a character study. It poses the question: "What drives Edward Pratt?". Like many adventurers, Ed has a yearning to circumnavigate the globe but - unlike anyone else - he did it on a unicycle. This short doc attempts to frame why.
A little bit of context:
Back in 2019 I spent a few day...

The front rider of a tandem bicycle is called the ‘pilot’, while the rider on the back is the ‘stoker’. Being a stoker is easy. You don’t need to worry about controlling the bike, braking, or changing gears. All you have to do is pedal and enjoy the view. But is it true?

If you're reading this then Aishola and I are currently somewhere in the Georgian mountains without enough signal to upload a 9GB video file.
But no fret, because I thought this may be a possibility so scheduled this video ahead of time. That does unfortunately mean that there's not Patreon read this week, but I'll be sure to get one included in the YouTube upload of Ep.7 next week....
