Running the Doon Valley on Exmoor in January 2020 – a feast for the senses

By Aidan, on February 28th, 2015 I’ve put together two different stories in two different sports recently.
First, biking the Iditarod Trail Invitational, for Sidetracked. Fantastic photos from RJ Sauer, great layout from the Sidetracked guys, and words that I spent a long time agonising over. It was hard to choose what to include and what to leave out from such . . . → Read More: A couple of stories published

I’m somewhat looking back at bikepacking. But also looking at other adventures (canoeing, hill walking, running) and trying to figure out what I’ve learned. A lot of it is pretty transferable amongst any activities “out there”. Hope you find it interesting. I’m certainly interested to know what other people . . . → Read More: Some Things I Have Learned From Bikepacking
By Aidan, on November 1st, 2014 I never thought that I would enjoy running as much as I do. I never really thought that I see my love of riding wane. But both of those things seem to have happened.
Right now, I don’t have a “Next Challenge”. The Iditarod Trail Invitational in February (story to appear in the next Sidetracked . . . → Read More: “What’s the matter? Your bike broken?” – Running Onwards
By Aidan, on August 15th, 2014 Stats from the Yukon 1000 below…. Not just stats, also a chance to see our wiggly line through the immensely braided Yukon Flats (the last 3 days). In case you don’t paddle big rivers yourself – we kept moving from side to side so that we could find the fastest flowing water. 9 times out . . . → Read More: Strava stats from the Yukon 1000

Thanks to Ainsworth Paddles and Clipper Canoes for helping us out with excellent kit!

In a couple of days, Emily and I will fly out to Canada to race the Yukon 1000 Canoe and Kayak Race. It is 1000 miles from Whitehorse, in Northwest Canada, to the Dalton Highway in Alaska. We will be using a Clipper Jensen WWII Canoe. We’ll pick up the canoe when we get . . . → Read More: Back to The Yukon (this time, with a paddle)
By Aidan, on April 25th, 2014 Over the Easter weekend, Emily and I paddled the Devizes to Westminster Canoe Race. 125 miles, 77 portages, and no sleep. (Strava track here)
It was a whole different experience to racing bikes – a lot of it was type 2 fun (don’t know what type 2 fun . . . → Read More: Devizes to Westminster Canoe Race
