Interview with Tom Allen – Global Cyclist

1.What are your emotional motives behind your adventures? Mostly I go on adventures to satisfy my own curiosity. But what I’m curious about has changed since I started.

Nepal Riverboarding Exhibition

“10 people, 10 boards, one virgin river.” The Sun Kosi and Tamur River roar through Eastern Nepal. Born in the Himalayan mountains its rapids are fierce, its interior littered with rocks and wild surf that set out to crush and devour you.

The Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival

I took my place amongst the crowd in George Square Lecture Theatre. I was alone, as usual so I automatically tuned into the casual banter taking place around me.
