It’s always a good feeling to have an expedition or adventure to look forward to, to know that in the not too distant future I’ll be off somewhere remote, seeing new sites and enjoying just focusing on the trip, I feel lucky that I have discovered this passion. Often if I have one expedition organised, I then organise a few mini ones as a way of getting fit or learning to use kit. The pressure of getting ready is a great motivator for getting outside and trying new things.

England Coast to Coast
In September my wife and I are going to cycle from the West to the East Coast of the UK. To be honest this is quite a short trip, it’s about 120 miles long and well take two days to complete it. However because we’re going from one side of the country to the other, it feels a bit more like an expedition. The reason we have decided to do this is because in January 2015 we’re going to cycle and trek from one side of India to the other, so this is to help us train.
