About

Sam (not Stanley) is a Welsh journalist. Perhaps not what you would consider a man’s man, Sam nevertheless finds the pursuit of traditionally manly activities – lifting weights, climbing mountains – to be beneficial to his health, happiness and confidence.

Here at Unmanly Stanley you will be able to find walk routes, gear reviews and interviews, as well as thoughts on fitness and the gym, and musings on cooking and nutrition.

(Sam realises that actions such as walking and picking things up are not gender-exclusive. The name Unmanly Stanley and the emphasis on ‘manly’ activities is tongue-in-cheek and is more in reference to Sam’s personal journey towards feeling happier. It is not meant to offend or exclude women. Sam welcomes people of all genders to read this collection of his work.)
