On 6th January 2018, Nick Butter tied his laces and stepped out on to an icy pavement in Toronto, where he began to take the first steps of an epic journey that would see him run 196 marathons in everyone of the world's 196 countries.

Spending almost two years on the road and relying on the kindness of strangers to keep him moving, Nick's odyssey allowed him to travel slowly, on foot, immersing himself in the diverse cultures and customs of his host nations.

Listen to Keith chat through this amazing challenge with Nick and hear how it all happened.

Fiona Quinn is an author, keynote speaker, endurance adventurer and entrepreneur.

No one had ever attempted it before. Yet as a complete beginner, and a terrified one at that (she was scared of the sea), in April 2018 Fiona set out to see if she could stand up paddle board up the west coast of Britain, 800 miles from Land's End to John O'Groats (LEJOG).

This inspiring and gripping account shows that no matter what the odds, if you dare to start before you're ready, anything is possible.

In this Episode we talk to Rich Mayfield about his 1994 Expedition into Low's Gully in Borneo. 

Nobody attempted to make a descent into the gully until 1994. On Feb 21 that year, seven British and three Hong Kong soldiers tried to abseil and climb down into the gully.

The team members going into Low’s Gully
The commander of the army that led the expedition was Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Neill. His second-in-command was Major Ron Foster.

Together, they both set up the 10-man team. Joining them, there were two corporals – Steve Page and Hugh Brittan from the Royal Logistics Corps – and Lance Corporal Richard Mayfield. Mayfield was also an expert survivalist and rock climber.

The other two British soldiers were a Territorial Army Sergeant Robert Mann and Corporal Pete Shearer.

Also with them were the three Chinese soldiers from Hong Kong, Lance Corporal Cheung Yiu Keuong and Privates Lam Wai Kee and Chan Wai Keung.

Why the expedition into Low’s Gully was a disaster from the beginning
Even before it started, the expedition seemed to be doomed anyway. The first mistake was not to equip themselves with a radio or flares.

On top of that , the three Hong Kong soldiers only learned how to abseil a few days before the expedition. And then, there was the language barrier among the soldiers.

Although some of the team members were familiar with each other, some of them only met weeks prior to the expedition. Hence, there was no teamwork or rapport right from the beginning.

This is a great conversation that looks into what happened on that expedition.
