Dave's mission is one that is truly after my own heart. For me a real expedition in the true spirit of adventure is done under human or animal power, following the rhythms of the environment, and this is just what Dave's magic mission is all about. I wish him all the success in the world, and even sneakily hope I may have the chance to join him on one of his thousand milers - Steve Backshall Yet again Dave has pulled off a challenging, unusual expedition in his inimitable cheerful style - Al Humphreys   An original and brilliant adventure - Squash Falconer At a time when it's most needed, Dave's epic SUP journey is proof that there are still expeditioners out there with originality, creativity and good old-fashioned grit - Alex Hibbert
