Ben & Alice

Ben is a landscape and adventure photographer and long time outdoorsman. He has a passion for capturing people challenging the elements. Coming from a background of climbing and mountaineering, Ben now enjoys competing in expedition length adventure races - because nothing spices up your trail running, mountain biking and kayaking like adding wilderness navigation and intense sleep deprivation. Alice owns more bicycles than she has fingers (the legacy of a misspent youth racing competitively), but now rounds out her two wheeled exploits with trail running, yoga, and the odd adventure race. She is always counting down the hours to her next outside 'fix'. With over a decade spent working in the outdoor industry, Alice has loved helping more and more women to discover their passion for adventure. This husband and wife team think adventures are even better shared.

Welcome to the Blog

The name Paddy Pallin certainly means many things to many people. For some it brings to mind the genial personality of one of Australia’s pioneer bushwalkers. Others will recognise the name from the label of a sleeping bag or rucksack that has given a generation of faithful service in the great outdoors. Or perhaps it brings to mind the colourful history of Australia’s greatest cross-country ski race. For most people however, the name is associated with a group of specialist retail stores catering for travellers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The Experience Blog is a place to collaboratively share knowledge, adventures and inspire each other to enjoy the outdoors. We stand firmly by the motto that 'Experience is Everything' & strive to embody that philosophy within our community whenever possible.

Thanks for stopping by!
