Alastair Humphreys is an adventure blogger, author and pioneer of "MicroAdventures". He has cycled around the world, walked across India and rowed the Atlantic. Alastair was named as a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year for his work with microadventures, trying to encourage people to get outside, get out of their comfort zone, go somewhere they've never been.

Will Copestake is e of the younger adventurers on the list and an avid photographer. Originally from Scotland, he was UK Adventurer of the Year 2015 and has taken many great walks on his road to his reputation as an Adventures.

He has many expeditions to his name including Walks of New Zealand, walking across Iceland, guiding in Patagonia and the machair to munro expedition; a circumnavigation of Scotland by kayak and winter ascent of the munro mountains.

He was reputedly the first person to walk the length of Mongolia alone and now Ash Dykes, is traversing the huge island of Madagascar. There are sure to be many mountains, savannahs, rivers and jungles along the way.

Update: Ash is now over halfway into this mammoth expedition which is sure to result in some fascinating photography.

Levison Wood is a British explorer, writer and photographer who in 2014 walked the length of the river Nile, some 4000 miles over a period of nine months. His work has taken him around the world leading expeditions on five continents and he is an elected Fellow of both the Royal Geographical Society and the Explorers Club. His documentary 'Walking the Nile’ launched on Channel 4 in January 2015, to great critical acclaim, with his book of the same name a Sunday Times bestseller for 4 weeks running. Levison's current expedition walking the entire length of the Himalayas is being filmed for a further Channel 4 series, with his book 'Walking The Himalayas' to be published by Hodder & Stoughton in January 2016.

Tom Allen is the inspiration for many of the people you now see taking on a bicycle tour. He is very much a frugal adventurer who is know to have taken on trips despite having no cash, no cards, and a bike he rescued from a scrapyard.

His original bicycle adventure took him through Sudan, Iran, Yemen, Syria, the Arctic, Ethiopia, Armenia and Mongolia. So if you’re thinking of taking on an adventure or cycle tour of some sort, or you’re planning a big trip and are looking for a voice of experience to help out, Tom and his website are a great place to start.
