World-record setting yachtswoman Dee Caffari is leading Turn the Tide on Plastic (#TTTOP) a mixed, youth-focused team with a strong sustainability message in the Volvo Ocean Race 2017-18.
Dee's Volvo Ocean Race campaign is backed by the Mirpuri Foundation and Ocean Family Foundation and dedicated to the issue of ocean health. The campaign is also supported by Sky Ocean Rescue who, as a media partner to the team, are helping raise awareness of the issues our oceans face. #OceanHeroes
The team’s guiding mission is to amplify United Nations Environment’s 'Clean Seas: Turn the Tide on Plastic' campaign throughout the eight months of the race.
Starting in October 2017, there are 11 legs until the teams finally finish in The Hague in June 2018. Since 1973, the Volvo Ocean Race has provided the ultimate test for a team offshore. The 2017-18 edition will take the teams 45,000 nautical miles around the world, across four oceans, touching six continents and 12 landmark Host Cities.

Dee Caffari is delighted to be taking part in the BT Sport Relief Challenge: Hell on High Seas. Dee was on the sofa to discuss the likely realities of being on board when the challenge was announced on The One Show on the BBC last night.
Alex Jones, Hal Cruttenden, Ore Obuba, Angelica Bell, Doon Mackichan and Suzy Perry are attempting to sail from Belfast around a section of the UK coast with a crew of experienced sailors including Dee. They leave on 7 March and have just five days to complete 1000 miles to raise money for Sport Relief.

Alastair's book Grand Adventures
So what’s a GRAND ADVENTURE – it is the most life-changing, career-enhancing, personality-forging, fun adventure of your life.
Following on from his popular Microadventures, in Grand Adventures Alastair Humphreys shines a spotlight on the real-life things that get in the way: time, money or other commitments. Grand Adventures is crammed with hard-won wisdom from people who have actually been there and done that: by boat and boot, car and kayak, bicycle and motorbike. People who had one epic trip then returned to normal life, or who got bitten so badly by the bug that they devoted their life to the pursuit of adventure. Young people, old people. Men, women. Mates, couples, families. Extraordinary, inspiring people. People like you.
Saving your pennies, overcoming inertia, generating momentum, getting out the front door: if you want it enough, you can do it.
