| Introduction | In 2004, after leaving a very successful and diversely adventurous business life, Howard made a radical move to pursue his dream of ‘Simply Adventure’, a simple wandering way of life, centred around sailing, cycling, and sea kayaking adventures, and one far removed from the capitalist and material world. In 2009, after years of solo sailing across the oceans of the world, and cycling the continents of the world, he moved his focus to Polar adventure. In 2010, together with three others, he completed an unassisted trek from Canada to the Geographic North Pole, joining an elite group of fewer than 60 people who have done this, one of the most difficult challenges on the planet. In doing so he became the first South African and at the time the oldest person ever to do it. His love for the purity of the solo adventure challenge has drawn him now to Antarctica and the South Pole, where he is attempting to become the oldest person, and first South African, to do the trip solo, unassisted and unsupported. |
