“I simply love to be out in the mountains or at the ocean, living the moment and in the pursuit of something wild and new - to just go outdoors without regret or restraint. So it’s a pleasure for me to share all my journeys and adventures with the #itsgreatoutthere community and support this brilliant project, simply because it really is great out there.”
“Only when I began exploring close to home, beginning my #microadventures, did I realise how much adventure could and should be a part of everyday life. There is wilderness and beauty close to every city, and it needs our help not only to be protected, but also to inspire a wider range of people enjoy it. I am more than happy to support #itsgreatoutthere and encourage as many people as possible to engage with this great campaign.”
