LATEST! Finale in 6 Marathon Challenge

"Drugged up, lubed up and revved up, I joined the familar bunch of athletes and wannabies at the starting line and waited for the gun to fire, which duly went off as I was tightening my laces. My first thought as I passed under the start/finish banner was how it was going to feel when I passed under it again..." Read on...

NEW!: The Missions!

It is when we are pushed to our own personal limits - physical or otherwise - that we learn most about ourselves. In these pages I celebrate personal challenge by telling the tales of some of the more structured tests of character I've undertaken in the past, including the up-and-coming 6 Marathons : 6 Months: a new idea designed to get me away from computers and raising loads of cash for the WWF. Be sure to follow this as it's certain to provide some great stories gorged in blood, sweat and tears.

Jan - May 2007: Soulchaser in India

At once the most interesting and testing country I have visited. I spent 5 months here, longer than in any country other than my own, although India is known as the sub-continent for good reason. I will be adding a wealth of indispensible in-country travel tips, but for now you will have to amuse yourselves with my musings. Please have a read. I hope they inspire you to pay a visit.

Jan - Jul 2005: Soulchaser in South America

After quitting my job in a hissy fit I decided upon the nicely timed Rio Carnaval followed by a motorbike journey around the continent as a way of blowing my meagre savings and pondering my next move in life. 6 months, a lot of excessive drinking and a broken collar bone later, I still hadn't figured that part out, but I'd had a lot of fun! There's plenty of laughs and travel advice to be gleaned from these chapters, so read on!

Feb 2007: Climate Change - The Test of a Generation

Coming Soon: Distance Learning

Study a degree from the top universities, for free, from anywhere in the world! A potentially superb alternative to studying full-time at an institution. There are many pitfalls, however, and I'll share the lessons I've learned through my usual trick of falling head first into each and every of them.

Becoming a Yachtsmaster: Fastrack Yourself for Under £3k

I've toyed with the idea of sailing for a few years now, inspired by my freind's dreams of being paid ample amounts of tax-free cash to traverse the world the exciting way - windswept and salty, free of constraints and totally in control of everything you can be while at the complete and humbling mercy of the elements.

In this thread I'm going to explain:

why sailing is such a brilliant idea
my plan to navigate the extraordinary cost of learning to sail (I expect to pay less than £3000 for what many people will gladly hand over more than £10,000 to do)
what it takes to become qualified
what work is available and how to find it

I'll also keep a diary of my progress, and create a list of the best resources available on the internet.

Coming Soon: Life on the Road

What happens when you accidentally buy a 25 year old VW *M*A*S*H* Van replica on ebay, and decide to live in it? Find out here soon!

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they act their dreams with open eyes to make it possible."
