My 2018 top three…

3. First overseas family holiday to Milan / Lake Como

Lake Como was stunningly beautiful, and a wonderful place to hangout by for just over a week. Fresh water swimming (more of that in a minute), mountain running, and good gluten free gelato.

2. Running the Welsh 3000s

This run in June was a fantastic. In fact, it is probably the best day’s running I ever had. Crib Goch at dawn was incredible, the huge climbs, variety of terrain, and great support from Climb South West made it a day that I’ll not forget.

1. The Boy gets published

This is undoubtedly my number one highlight of 2018. What started out as a pencil sketch after a day diving and swimming, and a subsequent email to Sidetracked Magazine by Mathias, resulted in a commission and published article in their Field Journal.

And on to 2019…

Without doubt, 2019 is going to be a full and busy year. The summer holiday is already booked, plans are being made, but there is one thing never far from my mind.

9am on June 22nd, I get to run, walk and crawl the full Jurassic coast. 100 glorious miles, Poole to Exmouth. Wish me luck!
