Seven months ago, the team over at Quest Adventure Series invited me to take part in their newest event, Quest Wales (you can read about that one here). I was apprehensive at the time as a large chunk of the race was based on cycling – something I’ve never been particularly good at, especially whenContinue reading “Quest Killarney”

Quest Wales
If you live in most parts of England, there isn’t a great deal of choice when it comes to seeking out mountains. The Lake District is a phenomenal location to go and it’s by far one of my favorite places in the UK, and Scotland, well, Scotland’s on a completely different level when it comesContinue reading “Quest Wales”
The Isle Of Wight Coastal Path
As you’re probably aware, if you read anything I write, I like a challenge. Running, hiking, swimming. Hell, I even used to like exams because I wanted to beat them – granted with minimal preparation. I do a lot of things where I can push myself and test out what my mind and body canContinue reading “The Isle Of Wight Coastal Path”
Interview – Neil Gresham
For over two decades Neil has been one of the leading all rounders of the climbing scene. He’s climbed some of the toughest routes in Britain as well as first ascents on various climbs around the world. Not only that, but he’s also pioneer in coaching for climbing and a ruddy lovely bloke. We trackedContinue reading “Interview – Neil Gresham”
Hiking La Concha
Marbella wouldn’t be my first choice for a holiday. Probably wouldn’t my 30th choice if I’m being honest. I’ve got a couple of friends who live out there though and I was long overdue a visit. Luckily, my dark visions of drinking Sangria in beach bars with the TOWIE cast were quashed when my friendContinue reading “Hiking La Concha”
Hiking in Snowdonia
If you’ve ever read my website (cheers for that), you’ll probably be aware that I’m pretty heavily into fitness and running (seriously, if you’re reading it for fashion and grooming advice, you’re going to be disappointed). Sure, I do loads of other stuff as well, but predominantly most of my time is either spent liftingContinue reading “Hiking in Snowdonia”
The Duke of Edinburgh Adventure 2017
It was only a few weeks ago, at an impromptu Tuesday drinking session now set in the Outlook calendar as a recurring meeting called “Boozeday Tuesday”, that someone brought up the Duke of Edinburgh Award. The general consensus from three men who did their bronze twenty years before (the fourth had a silver, which meant heContinue reading “The Duke of Edinburgh Adventure 2017”
Vertical Chill Covent Garden
It’s been two years since we ended up hanging off a glacier in Chamonix with nothing but two ice axes and some spikey shoes to our name (we were wearing clothes as well. We’re just pretty big on hyperbole). It was terrifying if truth be known. We’d done climbing before but it in no wayContinue reading “Vertical Chill Covent Garden”
Ash Dykes: Walking Across Madagascar
We meet a lot of interesting people at The Allrounder. Amazing people that do incredible things, the likes of which we can only imagine. When they tell us their stories we’re often lost for words at the sheer dedication required to complete the various challenges. The kind of hardships that make you look at themContinue reading “Ash Dykes: Walking Across Madagascar”
50 Races To Run Before You Die
If there are two things we love over at The Allrounder it’s books and races (a third is paella, if you’re asking), so when we were sent a copy if 50 Races To Run Before You Die we were pretty damn excited. Not least because we’re already massive fans of Tobias Mews and his variousContinue reading “50 Races To Run Before You Die”
