lee stuart evans

At time of writing the UK government still has a blanket ban on direct flights to Sharm el Sheikh airport for no good reason I can think of. This has had a huge impact on Egyptian tourism and stopped a large number of UK divers from going to the Red Sea in 2016… but not me !

These include – Flying with Easyjet to Hurghada then a transfer flight to Sharm with Egyptair although they dont tend … Continue reading A UK Divers Guide to getting to Dahab via Israel and the Taba Crossing

Lee-Stuart Evans runs the Rory Coleman London Underround Marathon at Bayswater Tube  Its a wet rainy Saturday in February , its 3pm in the afternoon and the rain has driven the throng of  tourists into the tube stations in London rather than walk and get wet, I’m in a huge standstill queue of people looking to get in to Covent Garden Tube Station, dressed in running gear , smelling like a dead badger with a 6kg pack and I’m so confused I think this is Piccadilly Station. So far I’ve visited 20 tube stations that day WITHOUT catching a single … Continue reading The Rory Coleman Underround Review – CustardFail ,UltraBusking ,6 Marathons in 6 Days or how to be in a Wham!
