Dave Cornthwaite
Amongst other things he has paddleboarded the length of the Mississippi, skateboarded across Australia, swum 1001 miles, written three books, stayed awake for 72 hours in a row without turning crazy, and for years has tried in vain to get Nutella to sponsor his adventures. But will he give up? Never!
On 17th October the next instalment of Alistair Humphrey’s Night of Adventure lecture series will arrive in Bristol for the first time.
I’m delighted to be one of a number of speakers taking on the challenging Pecha Kucha format, 20 slides, 20 seconds per slide. It’s fast-moving, fast-thinking and fast-talking, easy to lose your train of thought as a speaker but superb to watch from the audience.
If you have easy access to Bristol on the 17th I highly recommend coming along to this event. It’s being held at the Showcase Cinema de Lux at Cabot Circus, with the first speaker kicking off at 7pm.
The line-up includes Adventurer and round-the-world cyclist Al Humphreys, Amazon River Walker Ed Stafford, Adventurists Men of mystery Dan Wedgwood and the marvellous Benedict Allen. I’ll be chatting about Expedition1000, with an emphasis on my recent journey down the Mississippi by Stand Up Paddleboard.
Tickets are £20, proceeds go to the fantastic Hope & Homes for Children.
