Alastair Humpreys
Our Patron
says :
"it's more beautiful than you realise; the people are open and friendly and have time for you; your phone might not work which is a positive as you'll have more time - slow down and enjoy the silence".
Alastair’s quest for adventure began young. Aged 8, he completed the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge over 26 miles
Bill Bryson, a supporter, says :
"There isn't a more glorious and beguiling landscape anywhere, or one more deserving of our support. It really is as simple as that"
