"Across the world, Aquapac is proud to sponsor several teams and individuals who enjoy the great outdoors. Except they don't just enjoy it. They revel in it. They simply love it. Traditionally we've supported people involved in all manner of wind-powered or human-powered expeditions: solo-round-the-world sailors, long-distance kayakers, trans-ocean rowers. As well as pitting themselves against the elements, most also raise money for charity.

From that beginning, we've broadened our sponsorship - and we are now delighted to support inspirational people working to highlight the fragility of our beautiful planet, and committed individuals who help others to enjoy the great outdoors.

We call them the Aquapac Outdoor Champions.

Over the next year or so, we'll feature on this website a series of interviews with Aquapac Outdoor Champions. They range from the Antarctic Kayak Expedition and solo Pacific rowers to mountain-bikers, writers and photographers. There's even a bunch of guys racing a tuk-tuk across India.

David: I write articles for magazines and websites, and over the years I've written about 40 guidebooks - mainly for international travel publisher Lonely Planet. (Continued)
