2020 had a some positives, testing the new @thenorthface #vectiv trail shoe with carbon plate was def one of those.

The energy feed back from this shoe was amazing, added to this an amazing sock like fit that never felt uncomfortable.

I had great fun pushing this shoe up and down many mountains, the tread never failed!

It’s always great testing products as we love testing ourselves and kit is so important.

Do I have something on my hat? Or something in my head ?

Totally using @__the__forge__ post as inspiration, we look at ways to escape all the time, but until we can get out of our own heads we will never escape. You just take it with you.

Open up and talk, write it down, shout it from hills but just get it out your head.

We can find moments of freedom, but true freedom is not so easy, work on talking it out. The weight of stress, low mood and depression is so heavy, stop carrying it everywhere with you, talk.

January has nearly gone, are things looking clearer?

Some days we can’t see the mountains, we know they are there and that the cloud will clear and the amazing views will return.

We don’t stop living every time they disappear, we keep cracking on and moving forward.

Trust the cloud will disappear and you will see clearly again, don’t stop because something blocks your view.

Stay well and believe, the cloud will lift.

When working with adventure athletes it is key that their training is always specific, not only in the physical effort but in coping with the environment in which they have to perform.

I love the challenge of creating the perfect plan for an individual, their goal and the environment.

One of the biggest parts for any of my athletes is the psychological training that I make sure runs parallel to the physical.

Always a happy time in the hills with Oakley.

Watching him play in the snow gives me more energy to keep heading up.

Stay well and what ever your motivation just keep moving

Time to start pushing my limits again, been sitting in my personal comfy discomfort zone for a while.

The GFP is still a little way off and pretty much sorted, so a bit more time higher in the hills me thinks.

Keep pushing your limits, to keep progressing, we can’t live off past success we must look for new success.

Stay well and go get some

That was hard work, was feeling a little worked but so wanted to get a photo with the drone I had tried twice to get and failed.

(due to low tech understanding on my part)

Nailed it, the mountains were showing off their glory and I love the feeling of exhausted exercise, when you just have to lock in to a pace and suffer through it.
Kind of like high altitude, it’s never pleasant but you just keep moving slowly.

Everyday, grab the hard work, the discomfort, because what comes your way after is so rewarding.

Stay well, work hard.

A backyard day and it did not disappoint.

Deep snow to traverse across to Bellevue and even though it meant a slow start to descent, it was so worth it.

So throwing yourself at hard work can be so rewarding, never shy away from it, go grab it.

Remember nothing great happens from sitting on your sofa (unless it’s after a hard day)

The power of self belief.

History was made this weekend by a group of amazing individuals, each member of that K2 summit team believed in themselves and those around them.

@nimsdai has never been one to listen to the doubters and every step has been made with positivity.

Be positive with every step you take, smile in the face of adversity, take joy and strength in proving people wrong that question and doubt your dreams.

Stay well, stay positive, believe in you, surround yourself with positive people.

@geogshutts keeping it bright

The sun brings so much energy to our days, to our planet it is the most amazing power source and to us as humans it can lift our spirits with its appearance.

Try and hold its power with you at all times, especially when it’s dark.

Go find your sunshine, hold onto it and nurture it.

Stay well and keep shining

Heading out the front door for more adventures this weekend.

So much snow in the last few days and with no pistes, AVO conditions are crazy high.

So always stay safe, avoid stupid risks and avoid high AVO areas.

Energy levels are high and can’t wait to get back onto the hills, safely!

Stay well, stay safe and stay smiley 😃

I love this photo but it also created some deep reflection.

A beautiful view, there is light and dark, joy and sadness, power and weakness plus much more.

Maybe I’m being too deep or melancholic maybe it’s just a photo of some mountains .

Stay well and don’t read too much into things.
