Let Me Tell You a Story
I used to work with this guy, a friend of mine. One Friday I was giving him a lift home and asked him what his plans were for the weekend. He told me that he was going to spend the weekend in his ‘Cave’. I asked him what he meant by this? “Well I have a room in my house with my X box and PlayStation in there. I close the curtains and play on them all day”.
This guy had small kids so I asked him what they would be doing. “oh, they have their own games consoles downstairs and they’ll be playing on those”, he said. This particular weekend was glorious; the sun was shining and it was going to be hot!
I am passionate about the outdoors and believe that modern man spends too much time indoors, whether that’s using the computer at work or hammering the X box at home.
The world is a fantastic place, with amazing things to see and do. Our aim is to inspire others to take on their own active adventures, whether that’s a walk on the beach, taking to the waves, climbing a mountain, or charging the trails.
So I say, get out there, go explore, try new things…

So Who is Phil
Hi
Phil here; head honcho at Cave Active Adventures.
I have always loved spending time outdoors. Growing up on a farm, I didn’t have much choice. I was outside playing in the muck before I could even walk.
As I grew older, I threw myself into Scouting. It was there that my love of the outdoors turned into a love of outdoor pursuits. Every Scout group has a thing, and ours was kayaking. I just loved being on the water and was instantly hooked when I discovered windsurfing in 2001. It was the speed, adrenaline and harnessing the power of nature that fueled my love for the sport.
Back in 2011, I discovered Stand Up Paddle-boarding and threw myself into it. I am now a passionate Stand-up Paddleboard racer, surfer and adventurer.I have paddled around the Isle of Wight in 16 hours and Mallorca in 7 days. I contested the First UK SUP race series, winning multiple podium positions. Then took a 2nd place title in the UK SUP endurance series. I have even written a chapter for an adventure book and featured on several podcasts.
I’ve been paddling SUP for a decade and still have the fire in my belly. Now it’s time to give back and share the stoke. I want to share my passion for the water with as many of you as possible.
So come join my adventure and Escape Your Cave with me.
