An A to Z of Adventure – Alastair Humphreys

Fear not! Photo Friday will return in the summer.

However until then I’mm excited to share something new and pretty cool (at least I think so!).

I recently arranged a fundraising event for Hope and Homes for Children. A wide variety of adventurous souls kindly gave up an evening to help me out and share their story with the audience.

The idea was simple: each speaker would have 20 slides, which scroll after just 20 seconds. This gives the speaker a mere 6 minutes and 40 seconds to speak. It is a fast, furious, fiendishly difficult speaking format that results in a fun, unusual, fascinating talk.
So for the next few weeks I’mm going to ask you to give up 400 seconds of your Friday to hear some great stories.

If any of them move you to add a few pounds to our fundraising tally that would be fantastic. There is a donation widget below.

If you would like to be informed when the next Adventurers’ Pecha Kucha Night is organised simply add your email address here:



First up then is… me! Please let me know in the comments what you think of this format.
