BEEP!! BEEP!!! BEEP!! As I slowly come to, I realise this is not a dream and I am in fact waking up on an ocean rowing boat just before 2am in the morning. Its dark outside and all I can hear is the sloshing of the water on the side of the cabin, which seems to reverbe...

Seems to be a reoccurring theme in these diary entries, but time is going rather quickly. It only feels like yesterday that Seamus and I thought it would be a good idea to set off on this crazy Saddle Sand Sea journey. Since then we have cycled 3000 miles across Europe...

Time seems to be flying at the moment! The countdown clock has just passed 200 days to go, which sounds like a lot of time, but with the number of things we need to cram into those days, I am sure will go by even quicker.

The Marathon des Sables (MDS) is known as ‘The toughest foot race on earth’ and I can now see why. Having completed the Race Across Europe relatively recently (Click to read our RAE blog), we were both fairly confident in our ability to solider on and get through it, b...

So we are back in the land of the living. Apologies for the lack of updates the last few months. Preparing, actually doing and recovering from a rather brutal run across the desert really does take it out of you. BUT WE ARE BACK!!! And bring on the Talisker Whisky Atla...

I should start off by saying an amazing effort to all the crews in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge who have already made it to Antigua!!! We have been watching their crossings really closely, and cannot begin to explain how overly excited we are about having our...

Slightly strong title for a blog you might say, but is an interesting question and something been thinking about recently, but can get back to that later.
So last weekend, we headed off to the bright lights of Dover to take part in our first marathon along the coast! I...
