Posing with a Paralympic Gold Medal I did nothing to earn! @stevebatembe talked to me about how going blind is one of the best things in his life, because it has jolted him into action, appreciation and making the most out of life. I find it bonkers how often I hear this viewpoint, that we need a disaster in our life before we wake up and remember how short and precious life is! Steve is a cyclist, an adventurer, “dad” to a truly messed-up, bonkers rescue dog, and a really, really great guy. Good luck for Tokyo, Mr Batembe! #yorkshire #blog #goniceplacesdogoodthings #alpkit

I spent six weeks in the Canadian Arctic on an Ice Base on the frozen Arctic Ocean at 78 degrees north (at the spot often referred to in polar races as ‘The North Pole’, though in fact it was the 1996 location of the magnetic North Pole).
A 16-foot canoe loaded with food, 500 miles of wilderness ahead of us, camping on islands under the stars: paddling down the Yukon River remains one of my favourite adventures.
After cycling from England to Cape Town I needed to find a way to get to South America.
