What are we on about......!
I get asked this occasionally.....
The first thing I want to say is that I have no wish to be the fastest, slowest, highest, biggest smallest or oldest at anything. I’m not remotely interested in the Guinness Book of World Records. My interest is purely in the spirit of adventure and in looking at how innovation can make some of these challenges more accessible to all. In addition I want to get involved in expeditions and adventures which are as environmentally friendly as possible. I want to tread lightly on the environment and leave no trace of our passage. How disappointing it is to see streams of climbers trudging in a line up Everest through the detritus of countless previous expeditions.
I have been extremely fortunate to have taken part in expeditions in many of the most remote and unspoilt parts of the world. These include: Single handed ocean sailing, sea kayaking around Cape Horn and also in Guinea Bissau, recreating Shackleton’s voyage and crossing of S Georgia: etc. Back in 2002/3 a friend and I attempted to kite buggy from the South Pole back to Patriot Hills on the edge of the Antarctic icecap.
