Adventure with Adam

Hi, I'm Adam. This is a place for people that love to travel using human powered transport. If you have a desire spend more time outdoors and to travel the world, this blog will show you how. I am a serving Officer in the British Army and when I'm not at work I can be found wild camping, often with my dog Cleo. Come and check out my recent posts to be inspired, informed and entertained by my adventures old and new.
