I'm Chris Brown, an experienced, British explorer with a passion for sharing my knowledge and inspiring others to embark on their own remarkable journeys.
Whether you're seeking simple, cheap ideas for local exploration or hard-core adventures further afield, this website will provide you with inspiration, ideas, tips, and insights for all levels of ability and budget.
Recent Expeditions
These are some of my latest expeditions. Most, but not all, are linked to my pursuit of becoming the first person to visit all the Poles of Inaccessibility and as many Points of Inaccessibility as possible.
There's been some great successes and one or two abject failures. Budgets have ranged from a few dollars to a few hundred thousand. And I've got into some pretty dangerous situations along the way. So why not take a look through the stories for fun or for inspiration?
In August 2023, I emulated Lord Byron by swimming 4 miles/6.5 km from Asia to Europe across the Bosphorus Straight in Istanbul

Future Expeditions
It's easy to sit down in the comfort of your own home and come up with ideas for exciting expeditions.
But putting everything in place to make it successful is often a different story. So, whilst these are some of the expeditions or adventures that I'm planning in the future, I fully expect some may fall by the wayside and others will spontaneously appear!
