The idea to cycle the length of Britain came to me whilst appreciating the open space of the sea, beautiful sunsets/sunrises, and interesting wildlife during an unsupported row across the Atlantic Ocean. I always knew of the challenge of cycling the length of Britain. It really became a must-do challenge when I started to think about how little is being done to protect our most precious national parks.I grew up escaping for adventure in nature, enjoying the stillness and beauty; it is my place of meditation.

I hope by campaigning we can help future generations understand have the opportunity to experience true British countryside that we are so lucky to have. We are building on these parks at an alarming rate and once they’re gone, they’re gone!I started to think that a documentary discussing the concerns (disappearing land, damage to habitats, tourism) regarding the UK’s National Parks in the context of an exciting test of human endurance may spark some awareness on what is happening to our national parks and educate our audience on how one can get involved in protecting them.
