Adventurer Inspiration
As lockdown continues, we could all do with some fresh ideas and inspiring stories to encourage us to be and feel our best. With this in mind, we have rounded-up some of the most inspiring explorers, athletes and adventurers for two LIVE ‘Lockdown Sessions' - virtually meet them and ask your most pressing questions.
Our LIVE sessions will be taking place on our website - simply click on the links below for access to each of the sessions.

Harrison Ward, better known as the ‘Fell Foodie’ in some circles, is a social media-based outdoor cook and mental health speaker. Harrison completely turned his life around in June 2016. Weighing 22 stone, smoking and drinking heavily on a daily basis, Harrison came to the realisation that he was an alcoholic. He vowed to get sober, to lose the weight and also to battle his mental demons - he threw himself into fitness. Now sober, Harrison is a mental health speaker and was recently awarded the Ordnance Survey #GetOutside Champion 2020.
Harrison is very open about his ongoing battle with himself and with alcoholism. In cutting him off from the outdoor world, lockdown has brought back old demons and a stronger than ever temptation to drink again. However, the depth of his personal transformation and knowledge that you can come out the other side has kept him from falling back. He hopes his story can provide a similar inspiration for others.

Ian Finch is an explorer, adventure and outdoor brand photographer, expedition guide and journalist who has been travelling to remote environments for over 8 years. A former Royal Marine Commando, Ian has an insatiable desire to travel and lead expeditions to unfamiliar corners of the globe, to record the incredible traditions and cultural practices of native people. His recent expeditions include, a 1,300-mile journey to retrace the footsteps of the Cherokee removals and a 2,000-mile canoe decent of the Yukon River.
In his lockdown session, Ian hopes to help others find stamina and positivity during lockdown by identifying the ‘why’ in this experience and using humour as a transformative force.

In January 2015, Rob became one of the very few people to have ever successfully run 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days. Thrill seeking has taken him to all corners of the planet; from canoeing the remotest waters of the Yukon to rallying through the Sahara. Rob is also an engineer and television presenter, actively champions STEM subjects (Science, Engineering, Technology and Maths) and is passionate about raising the profile of Engineering amongst school kids.
Rob’s physical challenges have been instrumental in his personal growth – and his understanding that we can push ourselves more than we thought possible.

Jenny Wordsworth is a British ultra-endurance athlete and lawyer. She has competed around the world in multi-day running events and, in recent years, took that experience and determination to the South Pole where she skied 700 miles solo, unsupported and unassisted from the coastline of Antarctica to the Pole in 2019. An advocate for increasing female participation in sport and adventure, Jenny runs a women’s team who together take part in adventure globally and inspire other women to take on their own outdoor challenges.
In her lockdown session, Jenny hopes to help others use lockdown as a way to help build grit, resilience and confidence.
