1. Shepherd’s Bush bus station at 4am having fallen asleep on a night bus after a particularly big night out in Clapham

2. The guest bedroom of my friend’s house at an inappropriate hour (twice)

3. Various bus lanes and side streets around the capital whilst straddling my bike (these occasionally end up with me sat cross legged on the floor with papers spread across the pavement)

4. My flat, on and off for 8 hours on the first day of my Christmas break

5. In the foyer of the BBC Television Centre (I was there to pitch an idea about skiing to the South Pole and the call came in from Antarctica just as the girl came down to fetch me – the timing couldn’t have been better!)

6. The Explore Conference 2009 whilst mingling at the bar (I felt a strong urge to wave my phone around and let the room know just how rock-and-roll I was)

7. Lost in a forest halfway through cycling the Devon Coast-to-Coast

8. At my desk in my first month at work, very nervous and not knowing how I should talk to someone on a satellite phone (I went with very slowly)

…and I’m pretty knew to this game. Who else has got a story?
