LUKE LEARNS TO SURF

As an Aussie living in London and not knowing how to surf, I thought it was time to live up to the stereotype so many people in this world have of Australians; that we must all know how to surf. The most famous surf town in the UK is Newquay, situated over 400 kilometres from […]

HAINAN

Hainan is an island located in the South China Sea. The small province of the People’s Republic of China has many beautiful beaches, rainforests, and mountains, which were the reason I went there. My plan while in Hainan was to run to, and then climb, Wuzhi Mountain, the highest mountain in Hainan. Although only 1,840m […]

NEPAL EVEREST

Googling the world highest ultra-marathon sparked the idea of my Nepalese adventure. The Everest Ultra is a 65-kilometre race down Mt Everest. Starting at the old Everest Basecamp Gorakshep (5164m) this race wound its way down the mountain before finishing in Lukla (2860m). With my head throbbing from the altitude, and being hit by an […]

THE DOUBLE BRUTAL EXTREME TRIATHLON

I decided to take on The Double Brutal Extreme Triathlon. This double Ironman distance race (8km swim, 375km bike, 85km […]

Cycling Up Mount Everest

vEveresting Cycling to the height of Mount Everest on my turbo trainer.   Cycling up a mountain pass once is tough. Doing hill repeats up and down the same mountain pass on your bike just seems a little crazy! Everesting is exactly that, cycling up and down the same hill/mountain until you climb the height […]

MARATHON DES SABLES

Having just retired from my injury plagued football career that day, instead of facing the facts that my life was about to change, I decided to run away from making any real life decisions. I had never run more than 10 kilometres before, and I thought it was a “good idea” to sign up to […]

The 500 Man Triathlon

There are no guarantees in life, you learn, prepare, then do your best to execute; but as my Aunt used to say “sometimes sh*t happens!” I first came up with this idea for the 500 Man triathlon at the end of 2015, but it wasn’t until October 2017 that I decided the summer of 2018 […]

Running 500 Miles in 31 Days

Running The Calendar Club Running 1 mile relating to the date of the month.   Running for 31 consecutive days is something I have never done before. So taking on a challenge like this meant going outside my comfort zone within the world of running. The Calendar Club is a simple concept, but brutal to […]

THE ULTIMATE TRIATHLON

By staring at a world map with nothing more than adventure on my mind, the route of The Ultimate Triathlon simply jumped out at me. What started as an idea, flourished into an inspiring, life changing, and unforgettable journey covering 2000kms in just 12 days from Morocco to Monaco. I had an award winning documentary made, […]

THE ULTIMATE TRIATHLON DOCUMENTARY

Swimming from Africa to Europe, cycling the entire coast of Spain and running the full coast of France, the Ultimate Triathlon is the story of one man’s exceptional journey in a bid to push his limits, learn […]
