"When forced to consider you’re not coming home, that changes you’re thinking... you realise what’s important."

According to Adventurer, Speaker and Author, Dave Cornthwaite, asking ‘what’s next?’ is the very worst question to ask, which was lucky, as I wanted to talk to Dave about the mindset of adventure and delve into his most recent expedition, Schiller Bike Norway!

If you’re looking….

  • To live more adventurously

  • Enhance your mental toughness

  • Kick back and listen to a great story

…. then you’re going to LOVE this episode!

Dave is a record-breaking adventurer and best known for Expedition1000, an ongoing mission to take on twenty-five different non-motorised journeys, each over 1000 miles in distance.

Last year, he made me rather envious by completing his 14th journey, which consisted of cycling on a floating bike, the schiller bike, along 1243 miles of Norway’s incredible coast.

Dave worked with Hurtigruten and sea cycled the famous 124-year-old ferry and cargo route, known as the Hurtigruten, or "The Express Route”, from Kirkness at the top of Norway all the way down to Bergen.

It is one of the world’s most beautiful sea voyages and as Dave discovered, also most dangerous for those on floating bicycles.

Dave is also the founder of SayYesMore, a life-fulfilling movement that helps nudge people towards finding out what they're truly capable of.

And in 2015 SayYesMore sprouted the YesTribe, an outdoors-loving community of doers with thousands of members globally.

We touch upon how this incredible movement and community of people came to fruition and how you can join in too, so you can start saying yes more too!
