We need a Revolution

The modern world has become too comfortable, too averse to challenge and too disconnected from nature. This lack of living adventurously is having a negative effect on our physical and mental health. 

I believe that adventure is a necessity of the human spirit. Adventure makes us happier and healthier, it teaches us to take challenges, to appreciate our wild places and each other and gives us moments of real joy. I’ve spent 26yrs leading groups into the wilderness and I've seen adventure change people’s lives, by fostering creativity, building confidence and giving inspiration.

So I've started an #AdventureRevolution

My Aim is....

• To enable a generation to re-connect with adventure

Since 2009 I've....

• Encouraged over 30,000 ordinary people to discover a world of outdoor challenges through my non-profit Explorers Connect

• Regularly spoken to audiences highlighting the benefits of adventure to well-being

• Raised £100,000 and recruited over 160 volunteers for youth adventure and conservation charities

• Established the Night of Adventure to raise awareness and increase participation Wild Night Out

• Supported 2000 international expeditions with advice and team-mates
