I’m always outdoors; from playing football at university, going on runs, hiking in the peaks or playing tennis in local parks. For me the outdoors is a way to unwind from the business and stress of day-to-day life. My best memory of being outdoors is hiking up Snowden last summer with my family and even my dog made it to the top!

I love getting outdoors and walking my dog in the fields as well as running. I like that the brand allows me to speak to interesting people who are inspiring others to get outdoors with their incredible achievements.

Hi I am Murphy!
I have been exploring the outdoors for as long as I can remember. From camping expeditions to just walking the dog, I love it all. My favourite memory of the outdoors is being sat in the middle of a herd of wild Giraffes in the bush in South Africa.
