Trail Mix / Men’s Running
Every month I write the trail running section for Men’s Running magazine UK
The articles draw on my own experiences running mountain races around the world and in my home in Chile
– Here’s the story in the current issue –
Raising Valparaíso / Geographical
In 2016 I spent five months in Chile’s coastal and cultural capital, Valparaíso.
Walking the streets and by interviewing locals I wrote the feature and shot the photos for the January issue of Geographical magazine. The first page of the investigative story about the UNESCO status of the city; how it is being developed and who benefits from it is readable below.

Atacama by Tandem / Outdoor Fitness
I have been writing about travels in Chile for a few years now. In a country that stretches over 2,500miles it takes some effort to get to its most extreme ends from the central capital of Santiago. In May however we wrapped up our tandem bicycle in a couple of bike boxes and boarded a plane to the northern city of Calama.
Our ambitious plan was to cycle a backcountry mountainous loop, climbing to over 4500m above sea level in the Atacama Desert. I’m sure Outdoor Fitness editor John Shepherd thought it was a mad idea, but when we returned safely with a wild photo set he agreed to a 6 page feature in the 2016 winter issue. On sale now across the UK.
The Art of Fastpacking / Men’s Running
In Men’s Running magazine this October, you can read our story of wild camping and running 156miles through harvest-ready fields along The North Downs Way.
It’s an introduction to fastpacking – a fusion of hiking and running where light rucksacks mean you can cover long distances quick.
Men’s Running magazine commissioned words and photography for an adventure-special 6-page spread.

Ride the Divide – Cover Feature, Get Out There magazine
[:en]Did you know there are 429km of backcountry MTB magic to be ridden in Canada? The lion’s share of the Great Divide MTB route is in the USA, but everyone who’s ridden it knows the best bit is really in Canada!
This Spring and Summer if you are at a race anywhere in the East of Canada, it’s likely you will receive a copy of Get Out There magazine. You can read about riding through the only uninhabited valley in Southern Canada, see my shots of when it gets snowy and get a feel for riding the sanctuary for misbehaving bears! Alternatively you can read online right now…here’s a link straight to the article. Happy trip planning!
