Hello from up a creek in Uruguay. We’ve abandoned our running shoes & are soon to abandon dry land as we wait for a weather window to head out into the Southern Atlantic from the Rio Plata. We left UK shores in 2008 and have since circumnavigated South America in our 80 year old wooden …
A una semana de su nacimiento, el 21 de septiembre de 2014, Theo, nuestro hijo, estuvo con nosotros en Newcastle en una marcha por el cambio climático que organizó su papá, David. David se paró frente a más de 350 personas en el centro de la ciudad y leyó esta carta a los lideres del …

One week after his birth (on 21st September 2014) Theo, our son was with us in Newcastle on a climate change march set up by his Father, David. David stood up in front of over 350 people in the town centre and read out a letter ‘from Theo’, ” Hi, my name is Theo and …
Dave and I are heading south this Friday 15th August. We’re catching the train to Rutland for our last migration (sadly not on foot!) before the baby arrives in mid September (hopefully she/he doesn’t surface before!) We’re joining forces with Swarovski-optiks our binocular sponsor for the expedition & will be presenting, “Running with Parrots, Anteaters …
Imagine running a marathon day after day. How about running six marathons a day for six weeks?! Well it may not be humanly possible, but as you walk to your local shop, to the allotments or playing fields, you could be in the presence of an animal that has done exactly that; the barn swallow. …
I wrote a letter, sitting on the bank of a stream, my back nestled in the buttress roots of a spiralling Bolivian rainforest tree. Enormous plate-sized, electric-blue, morpho-butterflies wafted over my hand. Beads of sweat formed rivulets down my back and tiny fish darted past my toes. The letter was to HRH Prince Charles about …
We appear in the July 2014 issue of Runner’s World! Fantastic talking about the expedition again; the wildlife, wildernesses, risks and survival techniques……
Estamos de regreso a nuestra antigua casa de 80 años (nuestro velero) en Uruguay y extraordinariamente sigue flotando! Antes de abandonar el Reino Unido conseguí hacerme con una copia del libro de Roz Savage, “Deja de ir a la deriva, empieza a remar”.

We’re back on our 80 yr old home (our boat) in Uruguay & remarkably she’s still floating! Before we left the UK I managed to get my hands on a copy of Roz Savage’s, “Stop Drifting, Start Rowing”. Amazing! A rare, up-close & personal glimpse of life at sea in the Pacific through the eyes …

We visited a marvellous Devon primary school, Landscore, who we have been sharing stories with ever since we sailed from the UK to work in international conservation in 2008. We were really excited to meet up with their Headmaster Mr Read again, as well as all the teachers and school children. The children asked us loads of fab, juicy, …
