There are holidays, and then there are adventures that resonate deep within your soul, long after the tired muscles have recovered and the photos are uploaded.
These are the journeys that shift your perspective, fill you with a profound sense of aliveness, and connect you not just to incredible landscapes, but to incredible people. At Project Active, I have witnessed this magic firsthand. That's why we're thrilled to give you a very early heads-up: Project Active is charting a course back to the breathtaking, soul-stirring landscapes of Norway in 2026! An Immersion in Untamed Beauty Beyond the Four Walls: Finding Your Strongest Self in the Heart of Oxfordshire at Blenheim Park5/22/2025 If the thought of another session in a sterile, windowless gym leaves you feeling uninspired - I get it.
For more than twenty five years, I've been immersed in the world of health and fitness, guiding people towards their goals. And if there’s one profound truth I’ve witnessed repeatedly, it’s this: the space in which we move has an incredible impact on our motivation, our results, and our overall wellbeing. That’s why, as Ben Scurr of Project Active, I'm passionate about what I believe is Oxfordshire's most extraordinary fitness setting – not a conventional gym, but the awe-inspiring, living landscape of Blenheim Park. My connection to Blenheim is deeply personal (read more here). Growing up in Bladon, literally a stone's throw from this majestic estate, it was the backdrop to my childhood, my space for adventure and reflection Blistering Sunshine, Unbreakable Spirit: Yesterday's Cumbrian Challenge TriumphThe fells of the Lake District witnessed an extraordinary display of determination yesterday, as hundreds braved blistering sunshine for the Cumbrian Challenge. This annual event, now in its 13th year, is a powerful testament to collective spirit, all aiding the incredible charity, Walking With The Wounded, and the veterans they tirelessly support.
Setting the Scene in Stunning Grasmere Grasmere, a Cumbrian jewel, hosted an electric atmosphere from the early hours of Saturday, May 17th. The event showground buzzed with anticipation as over 850 individuals, making up more than 200 teams from across the UK and even further afield, gathered. They were ready to test their limits on one of three demanding routes – ranging from the 14-kilometre ‘Peak’ to the formidable 27-kilometre ‘Tougher’ option, which involves a significant ascent of over 1,400 metres. The clear blue skies and bright sunshine promised stunning views across the fells but also hinted at the arduous day of hiking that lay ahead for these dedicated fundraisers.
There are holidays, and then there are adventures.
Our recent journey to Norway to hike, kayak and camp wasn't just a series of activities; it was an immersion into a world of such profound beauty and a testament to the incredible power of shared experience. To say it was amazing feels like an understatement. It was an experience of sheer joy, a constant barrage of "wow!" moments and a deeply surreal feeling of being alive in a landscape that defied imagination, all amplified by the company of truly great people. This trip was a masterclass in laughter, a celebration of stamina, and an exhibition of collective fortitude. From the moment we first laid eyes on the dramatic, glacier-carved fjords, it was clear this was something special. Towering cliffs, often streaked with the silver threads of waterfalls, plunged into impossibly blue waters. The air itself felt different – crisp, clean, and charged with an ancient energy. Kayaking through these majestic waterways was like gliding through a living postcard. Each paddle stroke brought a new, breathtaking vista, a vista that often left us speechless, communicating instead through wide eyes and knowing smiles. There's a unique silence that settles in such vast wilderness, broken only by the dip of our paddles, the occasional call of a seabird, or, more frequently, peals of unrestrained laughter.  Just a quick nudge to remind you about the Woodstock Huddle happening next week!
