"Just five days after I decided to take on my first solo expedition I was pedalling 2000 miles across America. From sourcing a bike and gear, route planning, contacting press, devising social media strategy and running through emergency procedures, without access to Dave's wealth of experience there is no way I could have made all this happen in such a short timeframe. Importantly, as a solo female I'm left in no doubt that I can complete this expedition successfully, and safely." - Ness Knight, Adventurer
