ProtoNotorious | Family Travel, Canoeing, MTB, Running & Walking Routes
A dad and his two daughters sharing honest travel stories, tried-and-tested plans and routes, and practical tips to help you plan your own adventures.
Introduction
Welcome to ProtoNotorious. We’re Gray and his two daughters, a small family team based in the UK with a shared love of travel, exploring and getting outdoors.
By day, Gray is a lawyer. The rest of the time he’s planning the next trip, mapping out a safe running route somewhere new, or finding a walk worth taking. Along the way, we’ve learned a lot: what’s worth the effort, what isn’t, and the little details guidebooks tend to miss.
We built this site to share those experiences so they can help you plan your own.
What you’ll find here (H2)
- Canoeing, Mountain Biking, Running and Walking routes: safe, low-traffic routes we’ve tested ourselves, with distances, terrain notes and map links you can open on your phone.
- Family travel stories: honest accounts of where we’ve been, written from a dad’s perspective and our daughters’ own points of view.
- Practical tips: costs, timings, what to pack and what we’d do differently next time.
Why “ProtoNotorious”?
The name is a playful twist on prothonotary, an old legal title, with a little added mischief. A nod to Gray’s day job, and to the fact that our adventures don’t always go to plan.
