Jon Muir

Jon is the very epitome of a legend. Just one of his gravity, nature and death-defying feats would mark him out as a Great. Add them all up and he is nothing short of superhuman. He’s the most famous adventurer in Australian history, Australia’s most brilliant climber, and one of the most versatile adventurers on the face of the earth today.

Tim Fitz-Higham

Tim FitzHigham’s life reads like a Flashman plotline, an episode of the Muppets or something made up by a five year old on a damp weekend – in the words of the former First Sea Lord ‘tragically it’s all completely true!’. He rowed the English Channel in a Thomas Crapper bathtub; broke a 383-year-old record in a boat made of paper, took logs up rivers in South America, farmed nutmeg in the West Indies, narrowly escaped death in the kasbahs of North Africa, invented the volcano marathon, inflated the world's largest balloon and pioneered endurance Morris Dancing.  He’s even a quadruple world record holder.

Charles Brewer-Carias

Mr. Brewer-Carias, a septuagenarian explorer, lives in the hills above Caracas, Venezuela. He is a veteran of some 250 expeditions and has a smörgåsbord of flora and fauna named after him. Charles is one of the true great explorers still alive today and his achievments firmly fly him off the end of the legend Richter Scale.

Sir Chay Blyth

This here chap is without doubt one of modern history’s greatest ocean adventurers: He’s broken more records than Usain Bolt, defied death more often than most of us have sipped on a G&T and quite frankly makes James Bond look like a Boy Scout. 

Jason Lewis

Jason is quite frankly harder than a box of concrete. In 2007 he became the first person in history to circumnavigate the planet by human power alone, a feat which took him an astonishing 13 years. Another true legend of adventure.

Peter Moore

Peter specialises in the sort of adventure we love; unplanned, ridiculous and overflowing with hilarity. He's travelled overland from London to Sydney, ridden an ancient moped around Italy and written an eye-popping seven books about his peregrinations.

Bernardo Galvan

Bernardo is a Spanish motocyclist extraordinnaire, with a cornucopia of tales from the road. The icing on his cake is his 70 day circumnavigation of the world on a motorbike in 1996; the fastest ever solo round the world trip by bike.

Lois Pryce

Miss Pryce is one helluva gutsy lady and has gallantly conquered the world on two wheels. In seven years of motorcycle adventuring she's braved Congolese militia and Angolan minefields and ridden 20,000 miles from tip to toe of the Americas. What a woman.

Benedict Allen

Benedict has been hailed as 'the bravest man in Britain' and in his extraordinary career has been shot at, eaten his own dog and explored some of the most inhospitable places on the planet. All without phone or GPS. Mr Allen is the real deal.

Colonel Blashford-Snell

Blashers is an adventuring legend. The first descent of the Blue Nile (1968); the first north–south vehicular journey from Alaska to Cape Horn (1971/2) and a complete navigation of the Congo River (1974/5) are just a few of "Blashers" expeditionary triumphs.
