+1. Mine hasn't leaked while running/cycling to work with it in my backpack.

I'm personally on the fence bewtween a black Pelagos and the new black/white Omega Seamaster, so I'd go in the Pelagos direction :). I'd personally pick it over the BB58 for one key reason too, the faux rivets on the 58 bracelet are just awful. The Pelagos has a standard style bracelet as well...

Tooth and Talon is a quality shop, if you like the style of the people there. Been wanting to get something from Dan Morris for a while.

"London - Edinburgh - London" is currently free on Prime. Really good if you like audax/endurance stuff, basically follows about half a dozen people during the event chatting with them at checkpoints.

A few years ago I rode from London to Shanghai, China. Took a year. As long as you don't have any injuries that might preclude you from this, it's way more achievable than most people imagine. I didn't have a route planned but did have places along the way I wanted to visit, then just planned...

Travel the plans this year... Nigeria, Benin, Togo and Ghana next week. March, Syria for a week. April, weekend in Chamonix and Geneva. May, sailing expedition to try and get on Rockall. July, sailing from Cork to Portsmouth. August, week in Istanbul running the finish line for the Trans...

I'm a partner in specialist tour operator called Lupine Travel. We focus on the harder to visit places in the world like remote islands, breakaway states, places with tricky visas or places with security concerns. A lot of our clients are people trying to visit every country in the world and...

Funny you should mention this! I'm taking a tour group into Syria next year so keeping a close eye on this legislation.

I can assure you I don't work for the Korean media :D I live in Tooting. The questions was is it controlled in regards to what tourists can see, which compared to what most people believe, it is not. It's more controlled then say a visit to Rome though by a country mile.

It's a different type of tour. I've done the 2 dayer and the 1 dayer a couple of times. On the 2 day trip you get more like 3 times the time and staying in the hotel in the zone is a bit of fun. Also max. group size is 12 on the 2 dayer whereas it can be much larger on a single day trip. If...

You'd need a couple nights on the trains as well for £80 or return flights to NK but yeah it's possible. We do a trip to Libya each month, dates are on request only as we don't them searchable online. 3 nights, 2 full days. 1 day in Tripoli and 1 in Leptis Magna. Group of 3 with no tour leader.

Well of course it's not going to be impartial, it's pretty obvious that I'm going to have an opinion on this? We work extremely hard to make trips as safe as possible, can you detail which parts of trips are "very dangerous"? Some of the countries have an image of being high risk destinations...

For the two days tours? We only run a couple a year, but if you've got 4 people or so a private trip becomes a similar price. If you just want a day tour these run every single day. NK? 2 night tours start at £399 and the 4 night trip which is the most popular is £799 from Beijing or £719 from...

Nope but they've got quite a nice local peach soft drink :). One of the weirdest things I've ever had to deal with. I remember just getting the phone call and not believing it.

Hey all, I guess this might be a little too self promo but I figured I'd post it as I know there's quite a few people on here who follow my travel blog and the like. I'm currently about to do an AMA on Reddit on the topic that I've now arranged tours to North Korea for close to 1,000 people for...

Hello! Not done much cycling in a while. The leg issues I developed during the big tour finally got diagnosed as an inguinal hernia which I got repaired surgically about 15 months ago. Took about a year to feel right again, but I'm starting to get back in shape now and hoping to run a 10k this...

It's tough work but I love it :). Not massively as I'm on early booked economy fares mostly. I'm on the border of gold with star alliance and get the odd upgrade on Turkish airlines but that's about it.

I do, about half of those trips are ones I've arranged as tours and will lead a group of clients on :).

Busy year... * Jan - currently in Algeria * Mar - NZ, French Polynesia and Pitcairn Island * April - Slovenia * May - Monaco and Lichtenstein * June - Faroes and Iceland * July - El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize and Cancun * August/September - Beijing, North Korea, run a golf tournament...

Yeah I'm dual national, UK and Irish, so have two passports. Irish is better for some places like Iran and Russia, but then as I live in London the UK passport is better for places that require you to get a visa in your home country like Saudi. Yeah I've been to quite a few breakaway states and...
