Meet Charlie, a trail runner and a member of our Good Natured Crew. You’ll find Charlie in the mountains, whether it be in Chamonix or the Brindabella’s.

After claiming multiple podiums in trail races across Australia, Charlie is now competing on the world stage. He recently competed in the UTMB OCC claiming a top 100 spot! His unwavering motivation seems to come from his sheer passion for immersing himself in the mountains. He is quick to champion living on Ngunnawal Land recognising all the opportunities it offers for exploration and adventure.

Mattie’s connection with the outdoors is undeniably strong. For him it is a place for peace quiet and reflection, whether it be out the back on a surfboard, hiking a trail or pedalling on a bike.

Most of Matties adventures are human powered, aiming to leave very little trace on the natural world he is passing through. His quiet, yet curious endeavours find him camping every month with an aim to increasingly include his family on his escapades.

Duncan Brown is not your average adventurer. He’s a pioneer of climbing in Australia, a dedicated gym owner, a skilled coach, and a fearless explorer. Duncan thrives on embracing new challenges, constantly adding fresh outdoor sports to his ever-expanding list of passions.

The outdoors provide a sanctuary for Duncan to feel centred and calm, away from the bustle of daily life. It’s a place where he can simultaneously seek adventure and test his limits. Duncan’s passion extends to sharing these outdoor experiences with his community, always on the lookout for ways to bring people closer to nature.

Ji is always up for an adventure. This becomes very evident when you look at the multitude of trail races she competes in accross the globe.

From sky running in Scotland, hiking in Patagonia to an ultra marathon in Korea, Ji has competed in 4 x 50km this year! Her spark for adventure began in Scouts where she was granted the freedom to explore, climb and hike through National Parks. The past Lockdowns only emphasised that appreciation when many wild areas became out of reach.

Paddy thrives on the unknown and the opportunity that nature presents. He’s all about chasing waves and venturing off the beaten path, fuelled by their love for adventure and the thrill of the unexpected.

With a background in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Paddy’s dedicated to finding new and innovative ways to go about things. This extends beyond an environmental sustainability perspective and also looks for ways to make experiences more people-centric and unique.
