Wild, remote and absolutely breathtaking—walking the Sutherland Trail was an adventure like no other. 🏔️🌿 With barely a soul in sight, this hidden gem of the Scottish Highlands was a total delight. 🌊✨ - adventuring with @ZOLEOinc

Verbier, maybe my favourite place in the world - with @ZOLEOinc

630 miles and approx 87 pasties later… I conquered the South West Coast Path! 🥾🌊🎉. Along the way, I: 🏕️ Considered moving into a coastal cave (prime sea views, no WiFi). 🐍 Nearly pitched my tent in an adder sanctuary 🦆 Fought seagulls for my lunch every day @ZOLEOinc

100 miles of rolling hills, chalky trails and epic views later… the South Downs Way was in the bag! 🌿⛰️ Back in 2023, from Winchester to Eastbourne, this trail delivered golden sunsets, windswept ridges, and just the right amount of pub/cafe stops 🍻🚶‍♂️

Lake District adventures with my trusty @ZOLEOinc - always love to have the peace of mind of carrying a PLB with me!

To PLB or not to PLB? In my view, my @ZOLEOinc device is great for peace of mind when in the mountains...

Last summer I walked the 1,014km South West Coast Path in 26 days with 22 wild camps - probably my fave ever walk in the UK! @ZOLEOinc

Ennerdale adventures in the snow (a few weeks ago) - with @ZOLEOinc

A wintry scramble on Hall's Fell ridge in the snowy Lakes a few weeks ago - heaven! @ZOLEOinc #zoleolife

Some recent photos from my hike of the Allerdale Ramble with @ZOLEOinc

26 days, 22 wild camps, 1,100km, 26,000m ascent - what an adventure on the South West Coast Path this summer, with @ZOLEOinc #Zoleolife

Lakeland 4 Peak Challenge completed this week. 60km route from Seatoller to Keswick with 3,800m of ascent, using my @ZOLEOinc #ZoleoLifeEurope

@Countrystride1 @inov_8 Really enjoyed talking about my love of hiking and peak-bagging with you guys - cheers again :)

Out now! CS118 - Mountain Man @jamesmforrest talks about his record-breaking round of the 446 Nuttalls and 214 Wainwrights... Escaping the nine-to-five... The highs and lows of an epic walk... Is 'adventure' a ruse to escape the everyday? Pic: @inov_8 countrystride.co.uk/single-post/co…

A real pleasure to be part of this excellent podcast and to talk about my love of peak-bagging and long-distance hiking. Hopefully worth a listen.

@Countrystride1 Fun times - really enjoyed the chat :)

Rain forced us indoors, but conversation was about the outdoors... and record-breaking rounds of the Wainwrights and Nuttalls with the superb @jamesmforrest. Coming soon...

Nice to be part of the @RunThroughUK Gone Running Podcast with Ben Sheppard youtube.com/watch?v=Yyuvw9…

New PB of 1:26:38 in the epic @RunThroughUK Heaton Park half marathon in Manchester last weekend. Not bad for a 40yr old 🥳

@Plusnet Hey. I am currently in France but can't make calls or access data for some unknown reason. Can you help please?

@MarekBidwell @StrachanHazel @jroddiephoto @ilona_turnbull @QuintinLake @townsendoutdoor Always wanted to hike this. My votes would be: late Sept/early Oct, tent (as light as possible), and trail shoes (maybe non-waterproof). Enjoy bud

Thinking of hiking the Skye Trail (Armadale to Duntulm) later this year. Would Sept or Oct be best for weather vs midges? Tent or bivvy? Boots or trail shoes? Any other tips appreciated :) @StrachanHazel @jroddiephoto @jamesmforrest @ilona_turnbull @QuintinLake @townsendoutdoor

Thanks to @jamesmforrest for coming to my aid in reporting on the reality of living life as a local in the Lake District – feature now live for @TelegraphTravel telegraph.co.uk/travel/destina…
