10 Winter Adventures in the Amazing Austrian ...

Imagine hiking up a mountain under a full moon with fresh snow under your feet, breaking through the tree line and feeling that warm glow of sunrise hitting your face. Riding a sleigh pulled by huskies in a winter wonderland, cross- country skiing through villages nestled in the Austrian Alps, tobogganing down a mountain at sunset, swimming in a frozen lake or ski-touring up a mountain and descending through the trees. Imagine ending your day in a rejuvenating thermal spa before dinner and a well-earned sleep, to wake up and do it all over again. Welcome to winter holidays in Austria!

Cycling Scotland's Epic North Coast 500

Not many thoughts enter my mind apart from what I am doing. I wish everyone could do something like this once a year, or even once in your lifetime. We need it! I switch off from everything. A challenge like this is so all encompassing that I don’t have space for much else. All my energy goes into the challenge, and the micro world I create with the adventure I am on, the world directly around me and the people I am with. My world becomes small but this gives me freedom to become bigger than I’ve ever felt. My mind is not filled with events going on all over the world, with emails, news, social media, and the need to reply to messages, my mind is filled with fresh air and miles, hills, sweat, tears and food stops. My mind is filled with views so dramatic and mind-blowing, I am speechless. My heart flips a bit with each corner I turn and the awe that the NC500 route delivers again and again.

Building my Dream Custom Campervan - The One ...

It’s been a year since I started the project of creating my dream van ↠ @theonelifevan ↞ and as I get a lot of questions about it, I wanted to share the process and some resources with you! If you are thinking of building or buying a van i can say it’s ONE HUNDRED PERCENT as awesome as you might think it is! And my journey with van life is only just beginning... However, it can be a bit of a minefield and hard to know where to start. I hope this helps :)

Just because my path is different, does not ...

There are preciously rare occasions in life when you are handed an opportunity to go somewhere or meet someone that truly inspires you. Somewhere that shifts your centre of gravity, allowing you to refresh, refocus and restart. Or someone that has the capacity to capture your imagination and transport it to places you aspire to go but don’t quite know how to access. When your mind has gone there, the chances are your body will follow…

TrailBlazers: Empowering Girls Sailing ...

In October 2019, I took 10 girls sailing for five days on a Tall Ships Youth Trust sailing adventure proudly sponsored by KEEN footwear. It was magical and lives were changed!

We stepped off the boat with a different perspective. With love in our hearts, faith in ourselves and confidence to go forth and grow into the women we know we can be. I asked the girls to capture their experiences and what it meant to them…

The Race That Changed My Life

By we, I refer to a group of sixteen cyclists clad in matching lycra, with one difference. Each of us belonged to either Team Deman or Team Garin. This is the story of how Race The World changed my life.

Race The World: The Team and Two Wheels

Team. If there's one thing that stands out from my experience on Race The World so far, it's the team. I can't remember the last time I felt so much support, love and had so much fun with a group of people who were strangers just a few days ago.

Clare Miller: The woman who won the BBC TV that originally said women were not tough enough to apply

In January I applied for a BBC TV program called 'The World's Toughest Army'. Within minutes of me submitting my application I received an email from the BBC saying women were not eligible to apply.

5 Things I love about Tough Mudder

The day after Tough Mudder I woke up feeling battered and bruised all over. Not only had Andy and I run 13 miles, we’d also fought our way over, through, under and into 20 crazy obstacles which hurt a lot!

It's 8pm and we're in the pub in Glen Coe, Scotland. James and Jon have just walked in having flown from London and sit down to steak pie. Sean and I took the scenic route and drove up in his landrover.

Influencer marketing is the terminology used to describe the marketing channel opened up by bloggers and social media influencers. It’s disrupting the face of digital marketing and has opened so many doors to me.
