This was my first long distance adventure trip. I cycled 5,500km from Perth on the west coast of Australia to Sydney on the east coast. This journey took me 60 days to complete. I got knocked down twice by cars and raised over €250,000 for the development charity World Vision. This was a genuine life…
Together with my rowing partner, I rowed 2,500 miles across the Atlantic Ocean from the Canary Island of La Gomera to the Caribbean Island of Antigua. The voyage took 85 days and during this time, we experienced tropical storms, the tale end of a hurricane, chronic dehydration, exhaustion, hallucination and a dose of seasickness. Although…
This was a 4-day 550km bike trip I did with some friends while I was living in Vancouver. We used the cycle as a tool to raise money for a very worthy cause in Swaziland and we managed to raise $25,000. For me there are very few things in life that beat sharing an experience…
Together with 3 teammates, we attempted one of the “last firsts” remaining in the adventure world, which was to cross the infamous North West Passage in the Canadian High Arctic on human power alone in one season. We had a 2-month window, during which the ice melts for the summer, to complete this 3,300km journey.…
Together with 6 friends, I cycled the 2,000km Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland. For 11 magical days, we cycled the beautifully rugged, wild and majestic west coast of Ireland starting in the gorgeous town of Kinsale in Co Cork and finishing in the historical city of Derry in Northern Ireland. This was a great way…
This was a 10-day traverse of Baffin Island, which sits on the Eastern side of the Canadian Arctic. This was an expedition I did with Peak Teams. The trip was called “Crossing the Divide and our team of 11 people traversed the Auyuittuq Pass on Baffin Island hauling our sleds across the ice, snow and…
In August 2019, I was part of a 12 person crew that rowed across the Irish Sea. Lead by Eamonn & Peter Kavanagh, our crew consisted of a mix of people like me who have rowing experience and also a good smattering of friends who learned how to row specifically for this trip over a…
In 2014, I cycled the Wild Atlantic Way which is a route of approximately 2,000km from Kinsale on the south west coast of Ireland to Derry on the Northern Coast of Ireland. In 2020, I had the idea of “completing the loop of Ireland” so cycle from Derry, head east and follow the northern coast…
This was a very different experience for me, compared to other adventure trips and expeditions I have done up to this point. I wanted to do a trip that would involve learning new skills and given that I haven’t done much in the mountains over the course of my life, I felt a draw to…
