On Friday, Team McCain Adventure Addicts flew to Cairns, Australia for XPD, and expedition-style adventure race. The team, Graham Bird, Tatum Prins, Hanno Smit and Andre Gie, will trek, mountain bike and kayak for five to ten days – day and night – over this 800km course.
So there’s this guy, Rob Forbes, who left the UK in October last year on an expedition to South Africa with the ultimate intention of watching England in the World Cup. Rob’s 20,000km adventure is a self-styled ‘triathlon’.
