The Adventure Travel Show Uncover Your Journey of a Lifetime 23rd -24th January, Olympia, London
The Adventure Travel Show, celebrating its 20th year, is a world of extraordinary discoveries all under one roof. It is the UK’s leading event for people who like to travel outside the mainstream – whether it be on small-group adventures, exclusive expeditions or epic journeys.
The Adventure Travel Show is packed with inspirational and essential travel advice, specialist seminars and the best adventure speaker line up of 2016, including explorers, adventurers, tour leaders and guidebook writers who will help you uncover your perfect adventure. Plus, the biggest collection of specialist travel operators all under one roof will be on hand to offer guidance on everything, from walking and trekking to exploratory journeys, safaris, overland trips, life-changing volunteering projects and much, much more.
Some of the main adventure speakers include: Simon Reeve
After a decade spent making more than 60 programmes Simon has become a familiar face on British TV. He is well known for his extraordinary foreign journeys where he has visited more than 110 countries, making shows like the Caribbean, Australia, Indian Ocean, Equator, Tropic of Cancer and Sacred Rivers. Most of Simon’s documentaries combine travel and adventure with global environmental, wildlife and conservation issues, and have taken him across jungles, deserts, mountains and oceans, and to some of the most beautiful, dangerous and remote regions of the world. Simon will be appearing at the show in a Q&A format, with the audience invited to question him about his extraordinary travels around the planet.
Ed Stafford Explorer and adventurer Ed Stafford is a Guinness World Record-holder for being the first man to walk the entire length of the Amazon River taking him 860 days - it was the longest jungle expedition ever attempted. It was also documented in the TV series Walking the Amazon on Channel 5. Sir Ranulph Fiennes described his expedition as being “truly extraordinary… in the top league of expeditions past and present”. Ed filmed and blogged his deadly journey and engaged followers all over the world.
Rebecca Stephens MBE Rebecca Stephens began her career in journalism but is best known for her accomplishments in a completely different field, that of mountaineering. Rebecca is the first British woman to have climbed Everest - an achievement recognised around the world. Rebecca then went on to become the first English-speaking woman in the world to climb the Seven Summits, the highest mountain on each of the seven continents. Rebecca continues to adventure at every opportunity. She has sailed the Southern Seas to the South Magnetic Pole and Antarctica, and competed in an eight-day Eco-Challenge with polar explorers Sir Ranulph Fiennes and Dr Mike Stroud, running, biking and canoeing across the Canadian Rockies.
Paul Rose Television presenter, author and Polar explorer Paul Rose has travelled extensively over the years. His work has taken him to some of the most remote and challenging regions of the planet, from the harsh environments of both poles, to the colourful surroundings of the tropics, and pretty much everywhere in-between. As a man at the front line of exploration and one of the world’s most experienced divers and polar experts, Paul Rose has been helping scientists unlock and communicate global mysteries for the past 30 years in the most extreme places on the planet. Paul’s work communicates science, protects our oceans and reveals important global issues.
