Dave Cornthwaite is a British adventurer, author, motivational speaker and part-time dating expert! Dave's adventures are largely shaped by a passion for combining sport and travel to encourage people to look after their own little corner of the planet by thinking big, staying healthy and smiling as much as possible. Dave is probably best known for his Expedition1000 project, an ambitious series of twenty five journeys of at least 1000 miles in length, each one using a different method of non-motorised transport. Dave hopes to raise £1,000,000 for his selected charities by the end of the project, which will take him across three oceans, to both poles, and to every continent on Earth. In 2007 Dave broke the Guinness World Record for the longest skateboard journey when he crossed Australia, a five month, 3618 mile expedition that led to his first book, BoardFree. Also due to be published is Up The Creek, about Dave's 2480km descent of Australia's Murray River. His next book is 'Date', the hilarious story of Dave's attempt to find a girlfriend by trying to date 100 women in 100 days. In the Summer of 2011 Dave completed the 4th journey of Expedition1000 by paddling a record-breaking distance of 2404 miles from source to sea on the Mississippi River, by Stand Up Paddleboard.
