  • Adventure Misunderstood: The Irony of the Adventure Industry

    November 23, 2014

    Recently there was a post on Tom Allen‘s blog about how Adventure is now being used to sell products. Loads of people commented on it. I was interested in it for a number of reasons. I think that there has been a some misunderstanding between different groups and individuals. I wanted to add my perspective and clarify some points.

  • Explore 2014 at the Royal Geographical Society

    November 17, 2014

    Explore this year was as inspiring and awesome as usual. I spoke to tonnes of people, with some really interesting trips and backgrounds not least James Borrell, Tom Bruce, Roger Boyd, Andrew Ranville, and Tim Nunn. I love the variety of people that I speak to. I’ve come back with a head full of ideas and loads of motivation to move projects forward. I’m liking the way that the creative and arts side of Explore is going from strength to strength through people communicating their expeditions and journeys in beautiful and tactful ways whether in the form of maps, books, film, photography or otherwise.

    I recently began following Tim Moss on his website The Next Challenge which aims to help people to be more adventurous in their everyday lives. I find Tim’s approach inspiring because it focuses on the fact that you can have adventures wherever you are and inexpensively. What comes across strongly is Tim’s energy to consistently get out there and do exciting things and inspire and help others to do the same.
