I had the benefit of diving in Belize, Kenya and a great deal of the UK coastline as a result of learning to dive in @BritishArmy

A great leadership development opportunity.

  • Super excited to announce my latest forthcoming project. The last couple of years I’ve been working on a children’s book called ‘Incredible Journeys’ which recounts some of the most epic adventures ever undertaken- from the wanderings of early man, to the conquests of Alexander the Great and the voyages of Captain Cook, all the way through to the flights of the space age, this book will hopefully inspire the next generation of explorers. Aimed at 7-9 year olds but suitable for adventurers of all ages, it will be published this coming June by Wren and Rook, a Hachette imprint. Watch this space! With massive thanks to @sam_brewster for the beautiful maps and illustrations, @4lot for her editorial help and of course @jocantello1 and @pieceof__kate @wrenandrookbook

  • And so the weather changes for us on the BASI Nordic Level 1 course in Chamonix... Today we’ve had some great lessons delivered by course members before being chased off the tracks by the evening snowfall. It’s been a pleasure sharing ideas and coaching this motivated, enthusiastic and professional group of people. I love being a part of a skiers developmental journey... fascinating, challenging and forever learning! @basi_inst #greatgroup #basiinstructor #crosscountryskiing #crosscountryskiers #trackskiing #skiinstructors #basinordic #nordicinstructor #nordicskiing #chasedbytheweather #snowtime
  • Back in the love zone on my cross-country skis... I think this is my never ending romance...😍😍❄️❄️❄️ Coaching a BASI Level 1 Nordic course in Chamonix this week. Lots of great performance gains today for the students and some bright smiles lit up by their own “lightbulb” moments. Wonderful to help with and witness these moments. As Shirley Bassey says... Classic is forever, forever, forever... 😂 #shirleybassey #classicisforever #athletefocused #learningtoteach #basilevel1 #basinordic #basiinstructor #coachthecoaches #lightbulbmoments #neverendinglovestory #lovecrosscountryskiing #crosscountryskiing #skidefond #scidelfondo @basi_inst @williams_family_photos
  • A big thank you to @amandapirie for your excellent instruction on the BASI coaching course this last week- you are an inspiration. 🤗 It’s been really interesting seeing how we can run this module on a Nordic platform in future. It was incredibly useful tapping into a real depth of knowledge amongst the Alpine instructors on this course too- I leave with a much better understanding of piste skiing, and with a real breakthrough moment in my own alpine skiing as a result. I just have to consolidate that feeling now... but that takes me away from my cross-country skis... 😭😭😂 #foreverlearning #upyourgame #carvethatturn #basiinstructorsarethebest #perfectcoach #athletefocused #snowsports #gofaster #alpinetime #crossdiscipline @basi_inst @brit_mt_guides
  • I try to keep life simple. I stare out across this ocean of cloud and feel the constancy of my desire. A desire that hasn’t changed in years. A myriad of powerful emotions breathing life and energy into me. The rational rules, reluctantly, while hope fights on. And you... where are you in all this? This vast and marvellous world. Still there. Not lost below the clouds but on another island-peak... an impassable life away. “Believe me, it’s actions that count.” #sophialoren #timelyreflections #inversions #ponderousprose #winterdaze #contemplations #navelgazing #bestcure #uphighinthesky #expressandletgo #letitfly #foreverlearning
