Thanks for taking the time to click through to my page. Before we begin, can I be cheeky and ask you to subscribe? I don’t charge for my writing, it’s free to read and worth your time.

What is this about then?

This is my blank slate. An experiment in publishing and promoting some of my writing. A mix of topics including but not limited to; travel & outdoor experiences, music & books I’ve consumed and autobiographical narratives.

I'd used WordPress previously but was never quite happy with it, and then I found Substack. Despite the Nazi issue, it’s a decent enough platform for someone like myself to publish writing.

Here are a couple of pieces I’ve enjoyed writing recently.

I hope to keep pushing out writing for my readers to enjoy and keep it free. All I ask from you dear subscriber is to like, comment and share.

A few tidbits about me. I work as a cloud engineer, I’m a qualified Mountain Leader, I sometimes run and sometimes climb, I’m a northerner living in South Wales and I’m a strong supporter of social equality and green causes.

Having spent 26 years working in IT, I now work as a cloud engineer. Sometimes I'm a runner, sometimes a climber, as long as I'm outside I'm happy. I write about the outdoors, travel, music, books, culture and other things.
