I met Dan Martin in the Lake District last month where I commandeered a motorboat and shipped kit to an island that he swam to and where we cooked up a feast on an open fire and camped out like a real old-fashioned adventure.OK, that's not strictly true.I think the first time we met was actually in a cheap Chinese restaurant outside South Ken Tube but that's not a very exciting introduction.

As you may know, I'm trying to run the length of every London Underground train line with my friend Laura this year. Shortly after we decided to go ahead with the idea, I decided to ring Transport For London because I thought it might be of interest to them. I'm quite used to the hard sell of explaining slightly odd expeditions to whoever it is that's unfortunate enough to pick up the phone at the organisat ...

I'm not sure what exactly made me wedge a miniature whiteboard into the back of my rucksack last Sunday but I'm certainly glad that I did.Not only did it help with the hitch-hiking (several people said they wouldn't have picked me up without it and one suggested that the evident literacy indicated I was less likely to be carrying knife) but it also gave me a great excuse to have some fun with my camera.I ho ...
