13 July 2025 Tour du Mont Blanc done! And I can firmly say it’s the best thing I’ve done in my life so far. It’s been all of my favourite things rolled into one: pushing my body, being outdoors, travelling...

11 July 2025 It’s the end of day 4, we’re in Les Chapiuex, and I’ve just eaten the most incredible cheese board. It’s pretty magical here: a beautiful, tiny French hamlet, with stone buildings, wooden shutters, chickens running around, and...
