Killy Climb

In October I am embarking on my first adventure. I am 35 years of age, I am married with 2 young children and am a Police Officer so work shifts. As a result of all this I find time to myself to be a pleasure but very hard to come across.So I have put some time aside and I am doing a 12 day trip to Tanzania and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.I felt I wanted to do one of the more remote routes so I am climbing via the Lemoshe route. This is the first adventure I have done since I backpacked in Australia aged 18 so I am very excited about it and open to any advice in the comments below.

JamesVsWorld RTW cycle

Hey,

My name is James, I'm 23 years old, and I am not a cyclist.

Well, I wasn't a cyclist. But on the 20th May this year I left my family and friends behind and set of on a solo and unsupported trip around the world. So why did I, a person with no touring experience, no bike mechanic know-how and not many pennies in the bank decide to do this? Most think it's because I'm crazy, but that remains to be seen. Crazy or not, I've now made my way from London to Istanbul and I'm now racing across Turkey in persist of three other RTW cyclists who are already over 1000km ahead of me.

To catch them I'll have to pass through Georgia, Azerbaijan and a couple of the 'Stans before we meet and tackle the great Karakorum Highway from China to Pakistan. From there I'll be crossing India, South East Asia and America before finally returning to Europe and heading for home. If you're interested in my trip or want some more details before you start placing bets on my chances of succeeding, then please check out www.jamesvsworld.com I'm also raising money as I go for an excellent charity called Hope for Children. These guys work to help abandoned, abused and marginalised young people around the world.

Thanks, and wish me luck :)

SiiPod Epic Adventure

Hi All,

My name is Sii Brittan, I just thought Id post up here what I am currently doing and it might interest some of you. I just discovered a couple of weeks ago by chance, but I think this is a brilliant idea for a website. Now, what I'm doing....I walking. Everywhere! I spent 3 1/2 years in Australia (I had breaks in between where it nearly beat me) building a fiberglass capsule I call The SiiPod that attaches to a skiipolk harness i wear via two fiberglass poles and I'm towing this behind me. The SiiPod houses all my equipment, food, clothes, water, didgeridoos and a guitar (got to have the essentials). I then shipped the SiiPod to England. I left England heading east into Europe in April this year and I'm currently in Belgium ( its been a very slow few month ironing out problems and I hitchhiked up to Sweden for a wedding also, so was there for a month) heading north into Germany to Hanover, from there Ill south east into Czech Rep. and then into Slovakia; ETA October 2015. I'm setting up camp each night sleeping in my tent and setting off the next day, sometimes I'm offered a bed from people I meet, my favourite thing at the moment is a nice good warm shower. hahaha. I plan to spend the winter in Slovakia and Ill be strengthening my wheels and Axel's then in spring set off again heading south down to Turkey, then across the Caspian Sea and into Kazakhstan. From here my goal is to walk to the Himalayas to cross the Highest mountain pass in the world which is actually Bodpo La but being in Tibet I'm aware that the logistics of this will be very difficult besides the physical challenge of 5667m but more so the political challenge of getting permission to cross (if I cant get permission to access this mountain pass there are others around that are easier to get access to).

If I succeed this will be the most demanding, both mentally and physically challenge of my life to date.It will take me minimum of 1 year to get to the Himalayas, so this is by no means a fast journey and there will be many hurdles in the way to cross but that's part of the journey.If anyone has any Advise, tips or comments on what I'm trying to achieve please do post, If your near where Ill be at any point along the way and would like to chat please contact me. Also if you would like to join me for a leg of the journey (a weekend, a week or more) please contact me.I have no set end date to this journey, as i cant really say how long it will take, once I achieve what I have written here, I have an option to continue on the journey or to stop. Decide that when the time comes closer.Any help or support will be much appreciated and welcome.

You can contact me through here or Facebook, I have a blog page: SiiPod Epic AdventureHappy travels people.

A Long Walk to School

On the 28th July a group of six of us will be walking 250 km from the shores of Lake Kariba in Sinazongwe District to Chief Mukumbis Palace in Livingstone. We will be following the lake shore line through the beautiful Zambezi escarpments and Deca Drum (also know as Tiger Mile) and using ancient cattle trails to navigate the last 6 days to Livingstone.Donkeys will help carry our food and water supplies as vehicle access will be limited. However, we will have two support vehicles meeting us on designated days. We expect to be in Livingstone by 11th August and will be recording our trip with video diaries and photographs.

All proceeds raised from this walk will go towards the UK and Zambian grassroots charity the School Club Zambia.from 28th Jul to 11th Aug 2015

North Pole Questions

Hey there guys and gals,

I am in the process of gathering information and the logistics of successfully doing an expedition to the North Pole and back from Canada. Has anyone done this before? If so, I would love to get in contact with you and ask you a few questions.

Best Regards,

Ryan
