I am a freelance content writer specialising in the outdoors, walking, adventure, hiking and all things adventure related. I love to explore as much of the world as I possibly can, preferably on foot, and I enjoy sharing my experiences and adventures with others through my writing.

I written articles for on and offline magazines and have also contributed to guide books.

Born and raised in the Midlands, I developed a love of walking, and mountain walking in particular, during a family holiday to the Lake District when I was 14 years old. Since then I have escaped to the outdoors whenever possible.

I have undertaken treks in the UK and abroad, including the Coast to Coast, the Tour du Mont Blanc, the Pennine Way, Camino Inglés and the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, which included an ascent of Jebel Toubkal- the highest mountain in North Africa. I’m a keen backpacker and wild camper. 

I also enjoy exploring what England has to offer and although the Peak District is my playground I love to spend time exploring other areas. I have also dabbled in the world of ultra-racing, completing the iconic Marathon des Sables in 2009.

If you would like to see more of my outdoor adventures, I have a YouTube channel. 

I have a good handle on SEO and how to write content that engages readers and holds their interest. Please feel free to contact me if you need articles, web content, blog posts or are looking to build or gain exposure for your brand.
