At 57, Steve is proving that life’s challenges are meant to be conquered. 💪

After surviving prostate cancer, Steve returned to trekking in 2023 and hasn’t looked back. He's been travelling with us since 2009, completing 3 awesome trips. His next adventures include our Arctic Adventure, Pyrenees Freedom Trail, and Himalayas Trek - he's even booked into 2026 with our New Trek to the End of the World! 🥾

"I love doing these challenges for a number of reasons. You meet wonderful people, see the real side of a country, and push yourself to limits you didn’t think you could reach. Knowing I’ve done these things puts a smile on my face. I’ve done stuff I thought I’d never do. If I can do it, you can too."

Steve also raises awareness for prostate cancer, a cause close to his heart. After his own diagnosis and seeing his father battle the disease, he talks openly during trips and proudly wears his Prostate Cancer UK t-shirt to open conversation and highlight the importance of early detection.

"So many men get diagnosed too late because they don’t show symptoms. If my story helps just one person, that’s brilliant! My biggest takeaway? I’m thankful I’m still here after cancer and able to do this, watching my grandson grow up."

Steve, you inspire us all. 💙

A Story of unimaginable loss, unshakable resilience, and unstoppable love. ❤️

In December, We asked Gill to tell us a little bit more about her "Why" and share her adventure story.

After the tragic loss of her daughter Grace in 2018 and her husband David in 2020, Gill has taken on incredible challenges including Kilimanjaro, Everest Base Camp, and treks in Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Each step has been a tribute to their memory and a way to make a difference.

Gill co-founded Love Grace x, a campaign providing handbags filled with essentials for women fleeing domestic violence. She’s also a passionate advocate for White Ribbon UK working to end male violence against women and challenge outdated attitudes.

We’re so proud to be a small part of her story—helping her reach new heights and support these vital causes.

At 40, Leonie was running a successful business but found herself burned out, struggling with low self-esteem and poor health. Everything changed when she discovered the power of exercise and adventure.

"From the woman who was broken by overwork and couldn’t face her reflection in the mirror, to the grinning, pink-powered Personal Trainer I am now—it has all come from getting my body moving," Leonie shares.

Her first Discover Adventure challenge was the London to Paris cycle ride in 2023. Despite only being able to ride 20–30km at the time, she trained hard and conquered her fears. "By the end of the trip, I was totally hooked," she says.

Since then, Leonie has cycled the full length of Britain and has even more adventures planned, including Carcassonne to Barcelona later this year and our new Cycle Morocco in 2026.

Her advice for anyone considering their first adventure?
"Plan, prepare, train, and ask for help if you need it. Stop worrying about speed and numbers—look up, take it all in, and enjoy the experience. It’s never too late to find your new adventure."

Wise words from a brilliant woman! Thank you for sharing your story, Leonie. 🤩

Daydreaming about our Dalai Lama Mountain Trek... 💭

"Oh my word! India did not disappoint! What a fabulous and magical country... From the peace and tranquillity of the Himalayas right through to the utter mayhem of Delhi & Jaipur. Challenging trekking but so so beautiful. I want to go back!" Annie, November 2024

There's still time to join us in April if you're keen to get this one in the diary!

Meet Phil (a face many of you will likely recognise!), one of Discover Adventure’s brilliant crew members, whose adventure story started as a Discover Adventure participant.

Trekking the Inca Trail was a life-long goal, fuelled by a love of The Lost Cities of Gold and a desire to honour his mum, who died of breast cancer when Phil was 18. Signing up for that first trip with Macmillan Cancer Support changed everything. 💚

"From what was supposed to be a one-off challenge, I completed 13 challenges over 8 years, raised £62,000 for charity, and discovered a world of adventure shared with inspirational people. People find it strange when I say, “I am eternally grateful for my mum dying of cancer at such a young age." Her death has allowed me to experience incredible things, shared with inspirational people, turning into a job, empowering people to do the same, turning life's dark moments into gold”

But it wasn’t just the challenges or destinations that changed Phil’s life—it was the people.

"From the moment I met the DA crew, I felt accepted and included. As an openly gay man, I was incredibly anxious to travel with strangers, but I experienced unconditional acceptance that I hadn’t felt before outside of my family & friends. I could be myself, no bells no whistles I could just be ME. DA have always made me feel safe and accepted from day dot as a participant, and that continues today as crew."

Phil is a crucial part of our crew and we're very grateful he found us all those years ago. Nowadays, he helps challengers push their limits, embrace their stories, and take in the wonder of every step or pedal stroke they take.

Phil’s words of wisdom?
"Stop and take a moment. Take in where you are and what brought you here. Put those phones and cameras down and see it, smell it and hear it in all its wonderment. You may not be there again and if life hadn’t dealt you lemons, you may not be there in the first place. Cherish it."

We love you, Phil! 💙

From Party Girl to Peak Climber: Hanna's Story 🥾

Hanna once lived for nightlife and weekends. But five years ago, she swapped "wine for walking, rum for running, and gin for the gym" and never looked back.

Her trekking journey began after the loss of her dad, as she took on her first adventure in his memory. Now, she's conquered the Tour de Mont Blanc, Inca Trail, and Avenue of the Volcanoes. And this February? She's climbing Kilimanjaro for her 40th birthday. 🎉

"I've learned I'm an explorer. The world is humongous, and the best way to see it is on foot!" Hanna shares.

Her advice? "Be brave and book. The world is waiting for you, and your feet are ready!"

If you need to contact us urgently, you'll be able to reach us via Facebook Messenger, or on our Instagram account in our direct messages. Alternatively, you can pop us an email, or leave us a voicemail, and the team will come back to you ASAP in the new year.

🎄 ADVENTure Challenge Day 16: Countdown Complete 🎄

As we approach the final days before Christmas, today’s challenge is a little different. It’s about recognising that even the most adventurous among us need to pause, rest, and reconnect with what matters most—our families, friends, and ourselves.

Just like on any epic trek or cycle, downtime is essential. It’s when you recover, reflect, and regain the strength to tackle what’s next. So today, we’re challenging you to embrace rest (a challenge in itself for many of you, we know!)

✨ Take a gentle stroll with your family and friends, or curl up by the fire in your favourite pub, sharing stories of the year.
✨ Create space for yourself—whether it’s enjoying a quiet moment with a book or a little drive around all the local Christmas lights.
✨ Reflect on your year of adventure and plan for the adventures yet to come.

To us, being adventurous doesn’t mean being on the go all the time; it means living with purpose, whether exploring the world, seeking out those little challenges outside of your comfort zone, or simply enjoying the people and moments that make it all worth it.

And if your day of reflection leads you our way... we're here until midday tomorrow and are happy to help you decide on what's next!

🌅 ADVENTure Challenge Day 15: Plan a final 2024 Micro Adventure 🌌

As the year winds down, there’s always time for one last adventure! Today, we challenge you to plan a Micro Adventure... a short, local, and achievable escape that breaks your routine and adds an extra dusting of adventure magic to the festive season.

This could be as simple as:
🌄 A sunrise or sunset hike—or, if you’re feeling up to it, experience both in different places on the same day! With winter’s shorter days, it’s easier than you think.
🌊 A wintry wild swim or paddle in a safe, scenic spot.
✨ A night under the stars—set up camp in your garden or at a nearby site.

Why not plan your adventure for this weekend before all the festivities begin? Or squeeze it in before the turn of the year in that slow Twixmas period. It’s a great way to reset, recharge, and make sure you've wrung every last drop of adventure out of 2024.

Just stumbled across this little clip from when our MD, Jonathan, climbed Kilimanjaro in October last year. There’s so much talk (understandably) about heading up the mountain but very little about the elation of coming down. We think this shows the tired joy of our trekkers perfectly, ready to get down to Mweka gate and celebrate their amazing achievement. 🍻 To our Kilimanjaro climbers, can you remember what you were feeling at this point? #discoveradventure #kilimanjaro #summitsuccess #knownolimits

Janet 💙🏔️ When we sent Jonathan (MD & Founder of Discover Adventure) out to climb Kilimanjaro for the first time in over 10 years, we knew he’d be thrilled catch up with and to talk to the team on the ground. That he was! Meet Janet, Senior Guide, Kilimanjaro. In recent years, Janet’s smile has been popping up in more and more pictures from our trips and the feedback about her leadership has been outstanding.
