I Ran Around Britain With £1,000, a Tent... and the Kindness of Strangers

Wayne Russell set out to run 5,000 miles around the coast of Britain with little more than a tent, £1,000, and a huge idea.What followed was ten months of sleeping in church porches, bus shelters, caves, strangers’ gardens and fire stations as he circled the entire British coastline.He began the run to raise money after losing his sister to a rare heart condition—but as he explains in this conversation, the journey became about far more than fundraising.We talk about:why he decided to do itshattering his ankle just before departurecrying in a cave in Cornwallthe strangers who helped him survivehow Britain’s fire services became his accidental support crewthe beauty of the Scottish Highlandswhy finishing felt strangely anticlimacticand why adventure is far more accessible than most people thinkThis is a funny, moving and deeply honest conversation about grief, resilience, kindness and what happens when you decide to do something wildly ambitious before you feel fully ready.Get out on your own adventure - find out more at bigtrailadventures.com.
