11 DAYS OF POWER!

Having had my motorbike for a pitiful 11 days before it got written off by a terrible driver, I have arranged 11 days of utter chaos and debauchery to make up for my loss. I've decided this is just how I'm going to roll these days. It starts tomorrow: Day 1: Thursday: see Guns n' Roses at the O2...

A New Beginning

Friends, I have come to a realisation. Life, it turns out, is short. Very short. FAR too short to spend it sitting at a desk, day-dreaming of all the marvellous things there are to do in the world...that you aren't doing. As I was stamping my way up the Three Peaks, it suddenly occurred to m...

Peak Number Three: Ben Nevis

At 08:30 we awoke, less magnificently than the day before, but still pretty magnificently, in the car. Having spent 8 hours driving 311 miles until 04:00, but failing to find anywhere to stay, we eventually pulled into a car park, reclined our seats and alternately frozen and boiled our way into the...

Peak Number Two: Scafell Pike

At 08:30 we awoke, magnificently, in Truck Haven. After conquering Snowdon the night before, we had set out at midnight for Scafell Pike, covering 150 miles of our 216-mile drive before practically falling asleep at the wheel. Two enormous breakfasts later, we were back on the road, wending our w...

Peak Number One: Snowdon

Bored with the lack of adventure of everyday life, Simon and I decided to climb the three peaks.  We also decided that, given our love for food, beer and epic bleak photography, we didn't want to rush up and down in 24 hours, as is traditional.  Instead, we set out for a long weekend of conquering...

Training for the Three Peaks

As Champion of Murderbeers, my responsibilities are vast ‎and never-ending. Quash a rebellion here, fend off the Ice Giants there; if it's not killing one thing, it's conquering another. So, when the Emperor looked out from Murder Mount and realised that England, Scotland and Wales ALL have tal...

Partying Hard…with Andrew WK!!

Having spent 38 of the previous 48 hours awake and doing as much as possible, today should have been a day for relaxing. Instead, after a solid day's work, I leapt on a train with my brother-by-blood, Will, and half a lire of rum. Once the rum was gone, we met our brother-in-thunder, Head Brewer a...

Time Off.

After much...doing of things, I have decided to take a week off to drink and sleep. I have chosen Portugal as the location for my drinking and sleeping. Of course, I'm not really very good and doing nothing. Luckily, nor is my dad! As such, I'm confident there will be running, football and fea...

At the Olympic Stadium

As I write is, I am standing just outside the Olympic Stadium for the London 2012 Games...waiting to walk inside and run the 100m. How exactly I have ended up here is unclear. I do, however, know it involved dozens of generous people, all of whom I can't thank enough for everything they have donate...
