Adventurers night - Canary Wharf - 23 March

On the 23rd of March 2017, there is going to be a night of adventure in Canary Wharf and yours truly is going to be speaking! Full details can be found HERE

Text from event website:

The Night of Adventure series will be making a special appearance at Canary Wharf, bringing with it an ever eclectic collection of top explorers and daredevils to celebrate the spirit of adventure.

Like-minded adventurers will be joining forces to share their captivating stories of exploration, escapism and wonder. Each speaker will be limited to just 20 slides to accompany their tales, each slide leaving the screen after just 20 seconds. It’s fast. It’s furious. But ultimately, it’s a chance to be swept away to a world filled with adventure, all without leaving your seats.

All proceeds from this event will support the work of Hope and Homes for Children.

Alastair Humphreys – an adventurer, author and recipient of National Geographic’s Adventurer of the Year award for his pioneering work on the concept of Micro adventures. Alastair will host the evening and share stories from his recent adventure, busking through Spain. www.alastairhumphreys.com
