Alastair has cycled round the world for 4 years, raced a yacht across the Atlantic Ocean, canoed 500 miles down the Yukon River and walked the length of the holy Kaveri river in India. He has also run the Marathon des Sables and rowed to France with a paralysed soldier. In 2010 he completed an unsupported crossing of Iceland by foot and packraft. In 2011 Alastair decided to remain in the UK in order to encourage people to seek out adventure and wilderness closer to home, challenging themselves through microadventures. In 2012 Alastair Humphreys rowed across the Atlantic Ocean, did an expedition in Greenland and walked across the Empty Quarter desert and was named as one of National Geographic’s Adventurers of the year.<\/p>\n

The lessons from the road. An inspirational and entertaining speaker, Alastair Humphreys is passionate about encouraging others.\u00a0\u00a0 With humour, superb photographs and a huge range of anecdotes to draw upon, Alastair challenges his audience to set more challenging goals. To do more!<\/p>\n
