It’s reached that time of year when still-warm northern hemisphere waters are freed of the gawping holiday crowds, leaving empty breaks, quiet Autumn breezes and dwindling summer sun. Which means, it’s time to get your act together and get in some serious surfing. But where?
If you are a Londoner – or have recently visited – you should have noticed two things…
- Summer is basically over (booo)

Alastair Humphreys is a contemporary Shackleton, Hillary and Amundsen all in one; a keen adventurer who’s got many challenging expeditions under his belt. When he’s not running sand marathons, rowing to France or cycling around the world, he holds motivational talks and writes book. The Duracell bunny has got nothing on Alastair.
Here, he talks to us about landing on the moon, a burning need for decent coffee and encountering men with jars of fire on their heads.
Horrah – A bicycling revolution is upon us!
What with London still in shock over the introduction of the Barclay’s city bike scheme and the recent unveiling of the amazing Copenhagen wheel – a Hybrid e-bike wheel that turns a normal bike into an electric cycle.
And now the launch of Going Going Bike – an on-line community and auction site for bicycle lovers. If you are into biking or think that one day you might want to buy or sell a bike, this is a name you should remember.

Brave the waves in Cornwall
James Zoppe (what a legend!) has been riding and training both people and horses for more than three decades. He has worked with actors and stuntmen as well as other students interested in learning the ancient sport of jousting.
He takes time out to give us this fascinating and personal insight into the world of a professional Knight and Jouster and tells us why the song ‘We are the Champions’ by Queen will always get him fired up!
The Plastiki, a catamaran constructed from 12,500 reclaimed bottles, which provide approximately 68% of her buoyancy, and crew have reached the end of an 8,000 nautical mile, 130 day journey through the Pacific Ocean. The team arrived midday on Monday at Sydney’s Australian National Maritime Museum, Darling Harbour.
