Ross and Hugo have since completed many expeditions together which include rowing the Atlantic Ocean, attempting to cross the Greenland ice cap and climbing Mt Elbrus. They've also gone on to reach several of the world’s poles of inaccessibility using hydrogen and electric technology.
Paul AKA the Warrior Walker is a Royal Marine veteran, former kindergarten teacher and adventurer known for walking the perimeter of the UK in both directions.
At a crossroads in his career, a friend suggested walking to keep himself busy - Paul took up the gauntlet seeing it as a chance to not only challenge himself physically and mentally, but also to immerse himself in the beauty and stories of the land he called home.
As he walked the paths and trails, Paul encountered kind-hearted individuals who welcomed him with open arms, offering their support and guidance. The connections he forged reinforced his belief in the power of humans and the impact that a single conversation or act of kindness can have on someone’s life.
Phoebe has masterminded and undertaken hundreds of expeditions - big and small - across the world. She walked solo from the polar ice cap in Greenland to the ocean, pulled pulks to journey inside a glacier in Svalbard (last stop before the North Pole), tracked wild puma in Patagonia, navigated Myanmar's Myeik Archipelago and hiked to Everest Base Camp as part of the support team to the North East India's Expedition.
Phoebe has written several best-selling adventure books along the way including Wayfarer: Love, Loss and Life on Britain’s Ancient Paths - shortlisted as a Financial Times best summer travel book of 2024.
Bex's first adventure foray was in her 20s when she hiked 1000km the length of Israel. Since then she's kayaked the width of the UK against plastic pollution and kick-scooted the west coast of the USA from the top of Washington State to San Diego. Now a mum, her search for ways to adventure as a family resulted in her third book, Family Adventures, published this year. Noticing a lack of women accessing the outdoors, Bex founded Love Her Wild - a UK-based non-profit women’s adventure community which now has over 70,000 members. Named as a UK Top 30 inspirational entrepreneur by Business Leader, Bex has also been awarded the Next Generation Award.
