Exploring the world, one adventure at a time.

Hello. I’m Anna, an adventurer, author, speaker and mischief-maker. I get my kicks from exploring the world through long human powered journeys. On a mission to find the limit of my own potential, I’m hoping to help you unlock yours too. Let’s dance.

WHAT I DO

My Adventures

I’ve run, swum and cycled over 20,000 miles across this precious planet. Have a read about each adventure and transport yourself to far flung lands with tales of derring-do.

THE MCSHOP

Adventure books

From tales of running the length of New Zealand, to cycling the Andes Mountains and a children’s book too. Curl up with one of my five books and let yourself be whisked away on a wild adventure from the comfort of your armchair. They’re also all available on audiobook (for people who can’t sit still).

KEYNOTE ADVENTURE SPEAKER

Motivational talks

Tales of adventure shared with honestyhumour and passion. With a focus on growth mindset, resilience and adapting to change, I have a tale or two that’ll get your business or school fired up and ready to explore the limit of their own potential.

‘THE BIG ONE’

Barefoot Britain

Find out more about why I I ran the distance of 90 marathons through Britain, in my bare feet. Along the way I was joined by thousands of local runners and gave talks to the youngsters of Girlguiding.

🏃‍♀️ A 16-MILE RUN WITH 3 KIDS. Are we mad? 🤪 It’s a warm Saturday evening and Jamie and I are walking through Castle Park in Bristol. Jamie is pushing Rocky and Jupiter in a double buggy and I’ve got Storm in a separate, single one. We have crammed the buggies with everything we need for the next 24 hours. One packing bag is bursting with nappies and we’ve neatly rolled and stuffed clothes into another. ☀️ Sun cream, sun hats and pyjamas have been squished into a mesh pocket behind Storm’s back, we’ve slotted bottles into a space beneath the twins seats and jammed snacks (many, many snacks) into any remaining available space.We’ve just arrived in the city and headed towards our hotel for the night. Tomorrow we plan to run with the kids (two one-year-olds and a three-year-old) for 16 miles from the vibrant city of Bristol to historic city of Bath. 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 💨 👶🏻 👶🏻 👧🏼 We’ll be following the path of what once was on an old railway line, now a trail reserved solely for cyclists, walkers and in our case, runners with buggies. 🚂 🙌🏻 As we (attempt to) sit down for a picnic, 🧺 I realise that I’m rushing through everything. I want it all to be neat, controlled. 🫡 For us to have dinner on time. To get the kids to bed on time. I want them to have fun, but in a contained way. It’s then I remember that, although this was my idea and not the kids’ — this is their adventure as much as it is ours. And although it’s only a mini trip in the grand scheme of things, for them — this is monumental. It’s an unfamiliar experience, to be lived and enjoyed, not a set of logistical hurdles to be worked through. ⭐️ This went down last weekend and it was THE most fun thing we’ve done since having the kids ⭐️ It fired up my SOUL! 🔥 🙌🏻 You can read (or listen 🎧 ) to the full story in this week’s Restless Mumma Newsletter: open.substack.com/pub/restlessmumma/p/a-16-mile-run-with-3-kids-are-we?r=2w4ogj&utm_medium=ios ...
