Alastair Humphreys, an English cyclist, adventurer, author and motivational speaker has completed a 4 year bicycle journey around the world. He is currently preparing for SOUTH, the first unsupported return journey on foot to the South Pole.

What a fantastic achievement. A(nother) great example of the human spirit. Well done Alastair!
Rosie Swale-Popes' book; Just a Little Run Around the World: 5 Years, 3 Packs of Wolves and 53 Pairs of Shoes is a great read also, another amazing human being.
