WEDDING 🎊🎊

Excellent long weekend with Preston Mountaineering Club and @kt_farrell in the Cairngorms - freezing our knobs off, flapping around in the sun and finally teetering our collective fear up a bunch of way out-of-nick, sketchfest mixed routes. Would have been better without the overnight Megabus back, but you can't have it all... #Scotland #Winter #Climbing #ScottishMixed #Aviemore #TradIsRad #Frozen #Wanderlust #AdventureReady #Travel #Photography #TravelGram #Cold #Instatravel #Mountains #AGrandDayOut #Sketchy

Nice #TopNine from 2018. (39 Pics/3401❤️) India took me to Vietnam, Bali, S.Korea, Mongolia and Hong Kong - and back in time to get a mortgage before Christmas! Looks like I'm facing a new set of challenges for 2019, though I'm sure I'll sneak the odd rogueish adventure in so I'll have something worth blogging/photographing... Have an excellent new years everyone! I'll see you all soon, no doubt about it. ✌️ #NYE #2018bestnine #NewYear #Badventuring

So after my first solid five hour stint of stripping (...wallpaper) I feel stoked (...tired) enough, as part of #HomeOwnersClub to show you this lame photo of myself holding some keys. They're keys to MY first house. Like me, it needs a bit of work in all areas and has a mysterious past. Now I just need a soccer wife I don't respect, children I don't like and a dog that gets all the attention while I pick up it's shit. Let's call it a wrap. #LifeGoals. #FuckWhatHaveIDone ...... #SomeLifeGoalsAreKindaBoring #MortgageMeToTheHilt #WinterProject #CanIKnockThatDownMyself #House #HomeOwner #DIYProject

I may be back at home doing unforgivably grown up stuff, but writing this latest blog has been an excuse to relive the volcano sunrises at #MtBatur and snorkeling with #Mantas on Nusa Penida island. Frequent drownings aside (becoming a theme?), #Indonesia was a blast! Go to BADVENTURING.COM for the post! Kiss Kiss. #Bali #Beach #kelingkingbeach #Instatravel #PassportReady #SoloTravel #TravelGram #BestKeptSecrets #AroundTheWorld #traveldeeper #Wanderlust #Adventure #Blogging #Mantas #snorkeling

Three years ago today I was riding around the Peruvian Andes thanks to a travel writing competition win with @bikemagazineuk. Not only did I tour Peru for 2 weeks, but got to write a full ten page spread for publication - reigniting a fire for travel writing. Lots has happened since then, and lots more to write about! Keep track on Badventuring.com for more solo biking adventure stories. #AdvRider #Motorbikes #Peru #Writing #Travel #Blogger #InstaTravel #Portrait #adventure #Badventuring #wanderlust #Bikerlife #adventuretravel

If it sucks to return home after a long trip away (which it doesn't by the way...), then these sunsets, dog walks and weird parents help it to suck a little less... #SunsetWalks #Parents #Walkies #Husky #Farmland #MoreMosquitos #FieldsofWheat

When you find an SD card on the floor and find this #frogface on it... .Snorkeling with the Mantas will not be something I forget any time soon!

Finally! The second and final part of my Vietnam post is now live. Just tell me that doesn't look like a country you'd love to ride in? Like what you read? Be sure to follow the blog for future trip reports and updates 😘 Badventuring.com

Back home and with plenty of time to write, but there's not many posts left! Here's my exploits from southern Vietnam. Enjoy and don't forget to follow the blog on Facebook and WordPress for all updates! 🎉🎉🎉

After a year on the road, I finally returned home. I managed to surprise my parents by showing up unannounced on my birthday! To all those I've had the pleasure of sharing a beer with, to all those who've told me their hopes and fears while listening to mine, to the few who were mad enough to accompany me into dangerous and wild lands, to those who have been a part of my adventure. Thank you. The places have been spectacular, but the joy of travelling was always about meeting you, laughing through stories and bumbling through travelling with you. Keep it real everyone, float above it all and find your path. Hopefully that path crosses mine again in the future!

Snapshot of North East India's rickety #BambooBridges to celebrate #worldmotorcycleday. Ride hard and ride lucky ladies and gents. Let's keep broken bones to a minimum 😉

It was a couple of months ago, but not many shots compare to this #nofilter gem of my sunrise hike up the beautiful (if a little crowded) Mt Batur Volcano. A solid 3/10.

Just shredding zombies with the boys @sandboxvrhk. Awesome - will be back! #VR #HongKong #VirtualReality #Zombies #AirGuitarisGoodForYou #Rain

Mongolia was awesome. I have so many more shots to share with you guys..

Rainy days in Seoul. Washing away the hangovers.
