Five life areas to keep in mind
Whilst I was thinking about what I've done these past four weeks or more, five areas in my life that I'm keeping close to my heart, mind, body and soul became apparent, and I simply wanted to share them with you.
I’d like to feel safer whilst road cycling
The road bike came out of the shed for a special appearance: my first commute in quite a while. Ok, so it was just a couple of miles to my destination, my rucksack full of clothes and notepaper, some snacks and water. I was heading to a workshop taster session with ION Leadership on what…
5 Life Lessons from the Womens Adventure Expo
Many of us have probably been there already: it's the morning after, you're quite sore all over, a few cuts and scrapes, a pulsing headache, you're nursing your third coffee (at least of the morning) and make an attempt to pick out, in order to share, just a few non-blurred images out of the hundreds…
Eat Grubs
If you were ever wondering what the official term for 'fear of creepy crawlies (insects)' is, it's the endearingly-titled entomophobia.

Approaching 40, it's easy to think that I'm going to have to constantly justify why these adventures and challenges are taking place now, with children and responsibilities still abundant at home, no steady job, one career already behind me, when many organisations and initiatives appear to want to focus on supporting only those trying to…
If you think happy thoughts…
Good things come to those who think happy thoughts. Perhaps that's true... What is true for sure, is that since adding PhytoSport After Workout to my training diet over the past two years I've felt a marked improvement in my ability to recover, despite extreme circumstances, and I've certainly noticed when I wasn't using it…
From ashes to arrows
We are earth, we are stars, we are nature.
Let’s start with now
2017. A new year, a new opportunity. My (main) New Year's Resolution will be to challenge myself to take on new adventures with new activities, but importantly, to keep all of my adventures at my own backdoor, in Wales. I'm calling this resolution #Challenge5Alive. You can find out more here! Here's a confession, though. The resolution…
