Scotland Coast to Coast

CommunityBelinda KirkComment

Having visited some pretty cool places around the world, and having trekked with local guides in various places, we decided that we wanted to do something entirely self-sufficient -- plan our own route, carry our own food, wild camp, and feel as remote from other humans as possible.

How To... Go To the South Pole

How-toBelinda KirkComment

There are a few different ways for independent travelers to reach the South Pole and all of them are expensive. The first step is to decide on the right expedition for you - this will mainly be determined by time, finance and physical ability, plus of course whether you are motivated to ski for hundreds of miles or prefer the more sedate approach.

The Mississippi Challenge 2013

CommunityBelinda KirkComment

In early 2013 Sam Norman, Matt Fraser and Harry Hogg will start their epic journey from source to sea by kayak.This 2320 mile journey will take over 2 months of non-stop paddling to complete and will be completely self-sufficient. The main purpose of the trip is to raise money for the fantastic charity Help for Heroes.

This monumental distance if an average 40 miles a day, every day, is achieved will last for over two months and see the team paddle a distance that equates to three times the length of Great Britain. We as a team expect to be challenged physically and mentally but are more than willing to take it on in support of a charity that provides help to those that challenge themselves in greater ways.

We hope that this will not only inspire people to help this organisation but also inspire people to explore and enjoy the outdoors.
