A pause in time, a moment to reflect.

This shot was taken after a night upon #aiguillettedeshouches following the traverse to Brevent and down.

The car was stopped and framed perfectly by the mountains, causing me to just pause and take it in.

There are times to push on fast and times to just take in the moment.

A 2am start to get to this view point just beyond #valvenycourmayer to watch the sunrise coming over the #monterosa

Your kind of wandering in a semi state of sleep, I’m not sure when becoming fully awake occurs, maybe when things get technical? Maybe when setting up to catch the shot ? Of possibly after the shot talking about just how beautiful it was?

It’s always worth the early start, even if there’s no great shot there’s always a great experience in trying.

Which is your preference, sunrise or sunset?

For me it’s the sunrise, I’ve always been an early morning person and so the sunrise symbolises the fresh start, it’s peaceful in its power and there’s always less people around to see it.

Finding a beautiful spot and then just watch it do it’s thing.

What’s better than an amazing alpine view?

Sharing it with a great friend, sharing the struggle to reach to view point, being in the nature and spending time in the hills.

Sharing a struggle is a good way to get through it and find the positive.

Have a great week

From mountains to beaches, both put such a big smile on my face.

Just getting to either can often be a great adventure before the real adventure starts, you the journey

Capturing these moments on camera is so much fun, a fun that continues post adventure as you look through the captured images.

I feel I am still very much in the may get lucky with a good shot, but to me luck comes when you put yourself out there and work hard.

Go get your shot this weekend, work hard and it will happen.

Don’t forget that after you put all this hard work it, take a moment, breath it in.

Yes it’s all about the journey and your process, but we all have end goals and we need time to absorb the journey we have been on.

Why is this so important? Well because your next journey will need you to use all you have learnt from your previous ones.

Pause, reflect, learn, grow and get going again.

Living with our eyes wide open is key if we don’t want to miss the beauty around us.

Living with our minds wide open will allow us to experience so much more.

Living with our hearts wide open will allow us to feel the emotions of what our eyes have seen and our minds have experienced.

If you don’t want to miss great things, keep being open.

I have raced, I have pushed and continue to push

I have raced, I have pushed and continue to push my limits within the world of endurance and adventure.

Racing nowadays is just about pushing myself to stay in the best shape to take on what ever adventure challenge I throw myself at, I feel so lucky to be able to pick, chose and play with so many amazing sports.

I love keeping a physical connection to as many of the areas I coach as possible, this keeps my professional mind on point and fresh.

The link from all the endurance training and racing provides and wider understanding to help train the physical and psychological aspects of my adventure athletes.

A mountain can look too high, the ocean can look to vast.

Be it one step at a time or one paddle stroke at a time we can reach our goal, our summit, our dream.

Don’t be be afraid of the journey, it’s the most important part, just bring your gaze to the present, embrace it and work through it.

Have a great week

Capturing different elements of my adventures on camera has become as much fun as the adventures themselves.

Getting out for a sunrise surf, led to playing with my drone, which led to some beautiful shots of South Devon coast.

Getting the photo now acts as an extra motivation to get my ass out some where cool to push myself and get a great shot.

Stay well, have a great weekend and go get your shot.

With a spell of good weather arriving, who will be waking up with the warmth of the rising sun hitting their tent this weekend ?

For me moments in nature are so powerful and positive, it’s doesn’t always have to be an extreme environment or taking part in a crazy challenge.

Sometimes just being in nature is enough (but do prefer it to be a little wild if I’m honest)

Have a great weekend
