Being a huge advocate for wild camping and the amazing places around the world I have been lucky to see. It seemed appropriate to cover the story yesterday outside the Royal Court of Justice. 100 or so people braved the freeze cold to protest about the right to roam in England. More on the story to come.

Recently been in Kenya down in Tsavo National Park. As evening was drawing in we came across a pride of lions just after they had eaten. One of the baby lions was so full he was sleeping on his back!

(Song-Kul Lake, Krgyzstan - Central Asia)
The Story: Driving up one of the worst roads to this lake was quite something; we were met with torrential rain and thunderstorms, which seemed at one stage to put a halt to our journey up to the lake, which stands at over 3000 metres. However, over the top and then looking down, you saw the beauty of this lake, the clear blue, the ice cap mountains and the white yurts below, where we stayed for the night.

Rob ran over 15,700 miles, finishing the FIFTH leg of his run in Monument Valley, where he became the first person EVER to complete the run that Forrest Gump did in the film. It's a huge distance - the greatest distance anyone from the UK has ever run in a year.

Was great to have on the Podcast this week talking about his incredible year long expedition. Ash recently headlined global news by becoming the first person to hike the entire length of the Yangtze River in China.

A 4,000-mile journey that took him 352 days to complete, he faced bears, altitude, wolves, landslides, blizzards and had to send 10 of the 16 team members (that joined him for short stints at different locations) home, due to altitude sickness, fear of wildlife and/or injury.

Day 08 - Sharpness: We had pushed hard the previous day and waking up with the sound of rain smashing against the tent, the motivation to get up was low, but we got back on and headed south towards the sea, we knew we were close, but with the rain pouring down on us and wind picking up the closer we got, the harder it felt.
We were tucking under bridges to save time towards Sharpness, and when we arrived, it was very underwhelming; the rain and soaked clothes had at the time made it a happy end, but in the rush of finishing and the waiting taxi to take us back up to Gloucester. We didn't have time to really look around and take in what we had achieved.
As I was driving home, I thought back on our journey and remembered that expeditions are never without their challenges. While the destination was the sea, it was never the point of our trip.
It was just about being out here, on an adventure, picking up river rubbish along the way so people of tomorrow can enjoy the river as much as we did. I had a sense of achievement that we had completed what we set out to do had a great time along the way. (Full story in bio)
A huge thank you to for coming on the adventure with me,
for all her amazing SUP tips and advice and of course to for safely getting me down the River Severn with little to no experience. I mean the bumps and hits that board took!!!

Day 07 - Gloucester: The morning sunrises had disappeared, but after packing up everything and paddling down towards Gloucester, we saw some fantastic wildlife, from Herring's to Duckling, Kingfishers to Otters. The river was overflowing with wildlife, and in the countryside, the sound of the birds was deafening at times.
We had to make up time, so we decided to make lunch on our boards, we put our boards together, and one would steer while the other cooked up their lunch. We gained a few miles while doing this, and it proved vital as when we arrived at Gloucester dock, it was 20 minutes before it was closing.
We had to move into the Canal to avoid the weir. It was evening, and after a long day, more than 11 hours without getting off the boards. (Full Story in Bio)

Day 06 - Worcester: After the marathon, yesterday and 10 hours paddling, we were slow to get away; the morning frost had kept us tucked away in our sleeping bags till the sun had risen. The previous evening we had come to our first lock and had to take everything off and walk to the other side; we repeated the process in the morning only to find Paddleboards are allowed through the locks! We signed up for the Canal and rivers authority to ensure we didn't have the time-consuming hassle of taking everything off our boards again.
Once again, we had another glorious day to paddle down the river. We picked at the plastic and rubbish on the trees, but there was only so much we could collect with the vast amount.
We stopped just before Worchester for lunch in a beautiful spot. Although the sun was shining, there was still a spring chill in the air.
Now we had the excitement of going through a lock on the paddleboard, we gave over our number and began descending down, although only a few metres. It was a welcome change from the previous day's rapids, and with the continuous locks, we knew the rapids were now behind us.

Day 05 - Stourport-on-Severn: In the morning, we were away early, our usual breakfast in our tents and then packed everything away and headed down to start the day.
Our aim was to get to Stourport-on-Severn or just beyond it, but it would take a marathon of a day on the board.
The weather was glorious again; the gentle flow of the Severn and chorus of the birds made paddling a joyful experience. However, the sound of the steam train provided us with a moment of rest bite as it roared past us. We took a moment to enjoy the billowing smoke as it moved past us.
We made good progress while picking up any plastic we could; as the river widened, the plastic became harder to pick at, but we were filling our bags and removing what we could. (Full Story in Bio)
