Greenhiker research: The Adventure Travel Show

The annual Adventure Travel Show is now open at the Business Design Centre in Islington, North London. If you're in town, it's worth going along to have a look around - although not devoted to green travel, most of the ideas here will involve getting a bit closer to the people and places you're visiting, which can only be a good thing. We like the look of the features they're putting on in the main theatre in particular - we'll definitely get our seats for 'From source to sea: the World's first expedition to walk the Amazon' (tonight at 6.45pm).


PS - writing this a couple of days after the show, we're hugely impressed by these guys. What they're taking on is an incredible challenge, and for very good causes, not least bringing attention to the significance of the Amazon basin to the fight against climate change. We'll be following their progress closely - you can too if you join their facebook group, or just go straight to the blog.
