My latest project has taken up the best part of the past three years. Exploring walking trails, up, over and around the North West Cape and the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Coast. Establishing a tourism business offering guided multi-day treks here in Exmouth, WA. Starting today, “Trek Ningaloo” is open for business. Please check out my website and social media, like, share & follow, and if you’re a personnel friend or colleague and your heading this way, hit me up.

Some pics of what has to be one of the most memorable events of my life. Not only was the Simpson Desert Bike Challenge an amazing adventure in one of the most ruggedly beautiful places on the planet, the journey there and back turned out to be quite a challenge in itself. Thanks to the kindness of my supporters I managed to raise over $1200.00, with $26000.00 in total this year being raised by all riders and support crew. If you are looking for the challenge of your life, get a bike, a support crew and start training now! Entries for 2018 open March 1st.

Due to a niggling injury I have been unable to walk the Simpson again this year as planned. However, I am presently heading towards The western fringe of the Simpson where I will be joining 11 other riders who will be taking part in this years Simpson Desert Bike Challenge. We will be riding 590 kms from Purnie Bore, South Australia across the Simpson Desert to Birdsville, Queensland, over 5 days to help raise funds for Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia. Wish me luck, more posts to follow...
