Two years after a dramatic air-ambulance rescue, everyday adventurer Claire Hughes sets out to hike, pack-raft, and cycle through Wales, England, and Scotland on an unsupported journey — a powerful testament to resilience, humour, and the joy of self-propelled travel. Carrying all her gear and joined at times by friends, Claire paddles the longest lake in each country she passes through, completes the Three Peaks on foot, and cycles the long miles in between, all with her trademark humour and determination. Claire’s past escapades include rowing the Atlantic and crossing India in a rickshaw, but this film brings her story closer to home, and closer to the heart of why we seek out challenge in the first place.
Sustainability Notes:
"The film was produced with respect to the local environment - Claire's attitude during the adventure was to complete it wholly unsupported, which meant taking all rubbish with her and relying only on herself to travel the distance of her adventure. As well as this, Claire's messaging through the film is one of loving and respecting the outdoors.
Filming was completed with a minimal carbon emission, with the crew of three travelling together in a van, which was also used as the crew's accommodation for the production."
