Welcome to the new adventure that is the new week.
For anyone who has become familiar with this site to date, you will have noticed some changes happening through September as Among The White Horses steadily transitioned to become Inspiration Through Adventure. It’s still all about travel and the adventures and inspiration that comes with that but, with the launch of a free Weekly Newsletter and a monthly ezine available for a monthly subscription fee, I’m taking the content to a new level.
I’m Going Back To The Himalayas!
Read about my previous trek to Everest Base Camp here

The main source of excitement for me just now is that I’m heading back out to Nepal to cover two iconic treks in the Himalayas.
- Annapurna Sanctuary Trek – Including a night on Annapurna Base Camp
- Everest Base Camp Trek – Including two nights on Everest Base Camp during the Climbing Season when the Base Camp will be full of climbing Teams preparing for their summit bids.
As I prepare I will be helping anyone else who is thinking about going to the mountains, most especially those who would love to go but don’t think they could. Subscribe to Finding Your Finest Moments and get all this monthly content:
- Read about the wild raw beauty of the Scottish Mountains in which I am training
- Reviews of the clothing and equipment I am using, how I am using it with links to get it
- Monthly Training Log with a Video of my route, performance, distance and time specs from my training and how the route relates to the treks in the Himalayas
I’m Writing A Book

6 years ago, I stood panting at the top of the 2 flights of stairs leading to my front door and decided I need to do something about my lack of fitness. That was when I first started thinking seriously about climbing Everest. The story from then to now, of how I never climbed Everest, features Everest a lot as well as some of the other iconic mountains around the world. If I say so myself, it’s quite inspiring. My message is this:
- Even if you feel you should lose weight but can’t, you can still live the ‘target weight life’ you strive for. It’s about learning to carry the weight you have if you feel you can’t lose it.
- It’s not about reaching the summit. It’s about living the moments, incredible, beautiful, fulfilling, that you find in abundance along the way.
If you read my article or listen to the podcast series Worth Your Weight In Gold, you’ll get the idea.
