Alastair Humphryes

Alastair’s quest for adventure began young.  Aged 8, he completed the 26 mile Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge and the National 3 Peaks in 24 hours at age 13. At 14 he cycled off-road across England.  After leaving school he taught in South Africa for a year.

Whilst at University in Edinburgh and Oxford, he cycled from Pakistan to China, Lands End to John O’Groats, Turkey to Italy, Mexico to Panama and across South America.  He ran a charity project in the Phillippines and the London marathon dressed as a rhino.

Since graduating, Alastair has cycled round the world, raced a yacht across the Atlantic, canoed 500 miles down the Yukon river and walked the length of the holy Kaveri River in India.

As if that is not enough, he has run the Marathon Des Sables, and rowed to France with Major Phil Packer, a soldier paralysed in Iraq.

Alastair is a published author and has written chapters for Lonely Planet, the Adventure Cycling Handbook, Stanorama and the Travellers’ Handbook.

Alastair is interesting, inspiring, humorous and captivating.  A great speaker for any event.
