Empowering others to take control of their lives through movement and everyday adventures.
I’m Kit, an author, speaker, adventurer, GBR Age-Group triathlete and outdoor copywriter. From trans-ocean sailing to trail running and triathlon, I like to get outside as much as possible. It’s not all big adventures though, I spend most of my time filming and writing about my everyday explorations.
My mission is to help others find their own path to getting outdoors, taking up an active life, and feeling confident in themselves.
In Bed with the Atlantic (2018)
My first book, In Bed with the Atlantic, was published by Fernhurst Books in September 2018 – telling the story of how I, a non-sailor, found myself sailing around the Atlantic.

So, who am I?
I’m a writer and outdoor lover. I love trail running, road riding, mountain biking, sea swimming, river dunking, hill walking and am partial to the odd triathlon.
I’ve been a professional writer for over 10 years and have worked with creative agencies, corporate clients, magazines, publishing houses and whoever else loves words. I mostly write about outdoor stuff – because that’s my sphere of genius.
My mission in life is to encourage others to head into the outdoors, whether that’s walking, cycling, sailing or just sitting on a clifftop bench eating a muffin. You don’t have to ‘be’ outdoorsy, or sporty or any other label - an active lifestyle is for everyone.
