6th August 2016 Darren Edwards life changed forever. Whilst rock climbing in North Wales, he was involved in a serious fall which would alter the shape of his life forever after leaving him instantly paralysed from the chest down. However this life changing injury hasn't stopped Darren pushing himself to the limit - he has trained as part of Great Britain’s Paracanoe Team, pioneered adaptive free diving in the UK, and in 2021 became the first disabled person to kayak from Land’s End in Cornwall to John O’ Groats in Scotland. He says ‘I have refused to let the word disability define who I am as a person and am committed to helping challenge the perception of what those with a disability can achieve.’

But life wasn’t always this way, before adventuring Jamie spent 12 years working in the city before reaching ‘burn out’ and new he needed to get out and change his lifestyle. I caught up with Jamie on his current adventure , cycling 10,000 miles  around the UK in 80 days.
