Orienteering is fast, fun and there are virtually no rules. Read my write-up and tips for newbies in Running Fitness magazine here. My Climb magazine interview with Rock God, Chris Sharma, is here. Women CAN read maps! An insight into women-specific map reading, how to learn it, and the psychology behind it, is in TRAIL magazine here.
Welcome to my world
I'm a freelance writer specialising in the great outdoors, adventurous activities and travel.
What do I do all day? Well, as Short Breaks Editor of Adventure Travel magazine I'm responsible for writing, commissioning and editing features on outdoor courses and adventurous mini breaks in Britain and Europe.
Usually I'm well armed with plenty of technical outdoor gear, because I'm also Gear Editor of the bi-monthly Outdoor Adventure Guide (OAG). I also write features for the OAG.
And, as Assistant Editor of UKClimbing, my main responsibility is everything on the Gear page. I discuss the latest climbing and mountaineering kit with the companies who make it, and commission, schedule, edit and lay out gear reviews each week. I write some myself, too, and I also write gear news and outdoor industry news items.
I'm very proud that my work appears in plenty of other British outdoor magazines too, including BBC Countryfile, Climb, Country Walking, TGO, TRAIL, Outdoor Enthusiast, Beautiful Britain and Running Fitness. I've also written or contributed to several books, and am working on more.
Editors, publishers and recreational visitors can read a selection of articles in my portfolio. Here's some testimonials from people who like my work.
Thanks for visiting.
