  • Episode 12, Franco Ferrero

    This week we're chatting to Franco Ferrero. Most british boaters will have a book in their house with Franco's name somewhere in it. 

    Franco is best described as a lifelong paddler, learning while in school and then having an exciting coaching career, before setting up and running Pesda Press while traveling the world on their 32 foot yacht. 

    Pesda Press is the publishing company for outdoor people, publishing books for the adventurous, with over 70 titles, everything from skills textbooks to guidebooks (including ours!). Take a look at pesdapress.com

    Episode 11, Adam Shoalts
    This week we chatted with modern day adventurer Adam Shoalts. Adam is an explorer in residence for the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, taking on some monstrous canoe adventures and solo missions across Canada. It was awesome to hear all about how Adam became a man of the woods and water, and his life as a backcountry adventurer in a country inhabited by some of the most diverse and life-threatening wildlife around.
    Adam funds his adventures and, well, life, by writing fantastic books about all his trips. His latest, Beyond the Trees, is a trip report form an epic 4000 kilometre journey through the Canadian Arctic in a canoe, fighting upstream against ferocious rivers and navigating wild lakes and epic portages, all while under siege from barrages of blackflies.
    His other two books are Alone Against the North, a journey exploring the Hudson Bay lowlands, and A History of Canada in Ten Maps, an adventurous insight into the growth of a sparsely populated country, are well worth a read, too. All three can be found on Amazon.
    Adam himself can be found at https://adamshoalts.com/, or across Facebook and Instagram.

Having both paddled in a number of countries, we delve into the challenges surrounding big trips and foreign paddling, and tell a story from the time we paddled in Spain.  There's also a new segment, some rapid fire questions, where you get to find out all about Moose, so listen out for those!
