My name is Isaac. Originating from the UK, I’m a lover of mountains, the sea and forests. You may find me hiking 50kms through storms along the Atlantic coast, experimenting with outdoor photography and videography, running my "old haunts half", designing a new product I was thinking about in the shower, or simply getting wilfully lost on two wheels.

After my previous adventure that took me 1500kms across 8 countries, over mountain ranges, battling sun, snow, sleep deprivation, mild hypothermic and ending in a 3 day pizza binge in Riva del Garda, I'm back to try again!
I learnt a tremendous amount from that trip, not only about myself, and adventuring, but seeing what cycling meant to people in different countries and its revolutionary impact in peoples lives.
I also made contacts with people from all over the outdoors industry, learnt a massive amount about the new technologies and design innovations companies are working on, and I saw the direction the industry is headed.

This time its a whole new ball game...

Starting at ISPO, Amsterdam, I'll connect with even more industry professionals, chat to manufacturers and learn more about various sports' design challenges.
Ill then ride the iconic Paris to London route, arriving at Rouleur Live to see what my first love, cycling has to offer. I'll step into to very heart of cycling culture, attend speeches, be awed by the cutting edge of mechanical engineering and, captivated by the craftsmanship of independent frame builders.
Finally, a dash up to the Kendall Mountain Festival to be swallowed up in the passion of the creatives telling stories from across the outdoor scene. What better way to end a trip.

Along the way I'll face far colder, wetter conditions and be averaging 130km a day in the saddle! Its going to be brutal, but I am determined to demonstrate my passion, drive and prove that I deserve a chance.

Feel free to follow my journey here!
