Adam - The Explorer

Welcome to my version of exploring, in the Dacia Duster, on foot and more...

About Me.

This is subject to revision and is a FIRST draft I’m still working on my story so please keep checking back as I work out how best to tell it, it may not flow so well but I’m working on it!

A strange but interesting fellow…

I’ve always known I’m a bit of unique character, I don’t know exactly what my ‘conditions’ are but one thing they do make me is infinitely curious!

When I was 5 years old I used to think I was exploring a magical world along the railway drainage ditch that ran along the back of our house in Nuneaton, then as I grew older from the age of 6 I think, I attended a ‘Special’ school that resided in a grand old residence in a rural part of the West Midlands, Here they took us on amazing walks and with the attached outdoor centre we learnt more about the wonderful countryside,

Thanks to them I went on various outdoor adventures even learning to sail a ‘topper’ boat with a memorable death defying trip to the Lake district oh and even won a race back in Edgbaston! From walking to pony trekking and something I loved ‘Kayaking’.

I’m also inquisitive when it comes to people, I’m a people watcher and love understanding the differences between how we all do things, this can be off putting to some but I’m harmless!

Starting with my mountain bike I have explored many places around my home area, I’ve ridden on beaten up bikes to Derby from Nuneaton and even an epic adventure to Hemel Hempstead then I invested in a motor scooter with a friend and this blew my exploring wide open, I’d taken it to the seaside, camping a few times in Betws-y-Coed and other day trips as I got older my mother put extra effort into pushing me into driving, but I wasn’t at all interested in cars, but in 2009 I passed my test and could now travel further and further away, going back a bit to the year 2000 I became interested in photography, as a people person I had a good skill for portraits, but lacked the confidence to approach people for photos, I
