“Well, you have not been twiddling your thumbs have you”
Thinking adventurously has led me through adulthood, made me the man I am and taught me perspective, confidence, gratefulness, values.
While Expedition1000 is the non-motorised 25-journey mission that gave me an identity and purpose as I started out, I equally treasure the smaller challenges, beautifully whacky habit-forming projects and group trips that have filled the gaps in between those bigger adventures.
Legacy Projects
These are the ones I’m most proud of. They’re ongoing, enduring and worthwhile. By comparison the adventures are just fun and games.
Expedition1000
An epic lifetime mission to complete twenty-five different journeys, each over 1000 miles and using a different form of non-motorised transport. So far I’ve completed fifteen, just ten to go!
